Trumpet player Ronald Baker's quintet was born in 1996 and since then, during its exalting musical life has kept proclaiming its attachment to jazz, fixing ears and « eyes on the tradition » from nearly exclusively original themes. Under the close and deep watch of Alain Mayeras, pianist, musical director and main composer, the quintet has had lots of opportunities to test the efficiency of its compositions with a larger and larger audience. From formative tours to « Live in la Coursive » in La Rochelle, from prestigious clubs to the greatest national and international jazz festivals : Montreux, Montreal, Marciac, Juan les Pins, Montlouis sur Loire, Samois-sur-Seine, Beaune. Ronald Baker and his musicians have never abandoned that « Spirit of the Blues » they constantly confirm through their bubbling improvisations
