Clint Baker
Clint Baker is the supreme jazz floater (and a young one at that, at thirty-seven)
He plays all the rhythm section instruments, plays trombone, trumpet, clarinet & sax- and has been paying taxes for fellas in his band since he was the age of fourteen. Clint Baker’s New Orleans Jazz Band was featured at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Monterey Jazz Festival as well as traveling around the U.S. and Canada. As an ‘axe for hire’ Clint has played and recorded with Hal Smith’s Rhythm Makers and Roadrunners, Jim Cullum’s Jazz Band, and many others. In 2003 Clint and Paul collaborated on two different recordings, one with William Warfield and one with Dawn Lambeth. In 2006 Paul & Clint also collaborated on a project for the San Francisco Silent Film Festival’s showing of the 1927 film “CHICAGO” which drew SRO crowds. Additionally, he’s appeared as a guest on the HCSF Cds “Postcards From Gypsyland” and “Yerba Buena Bounce”. He’s a jazz educator and historian and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his jazz radio announce wife and their twins Riley & Ramona.
