Hopefully, everyone has a friend like Margie Baker. Always encouraging, always willing to help, Margie was also one of the first musicians called for help when forming the Sacramento Jazz Coop. Not even questioning it, she simply answered the call, and on June 19, 2017, yes, that's right, on Juneteenth, SJC, still at the Clara Auditorium proudly presented Margie Baker singing the Jazz Preservation District Music – the History of Black Music from 1920s to the present, honoring Billy Eckstine, Earl “Fatha” Hines, and Joe Williams. With Larry Chinn on piano, Jerry Pannone on drums, and Chuck Bennett on bass. With gratitude and love. Thank you Margie Baker. I am eternally grateful. Carolyne Swayze ... See MoreSee Less

WIth so much going on, it escaped me that June 7th was the birthday of Sacramento's own Mel Martin. I wanted to take a moment to make a little comment about Mel and how he helped me. Beginning my musical career in San Francisco, my hotel singer roots, and his jazz roots only occasionally allowed us to cross paths. He was very kind and encouraging to me.
In 2016, when I started SJC, not known by many Sacramento musicians, certainly not enough to start a jazz organization, I reached out to my San Francisco contacts. I called Mel, explained what I was trying to do and asked if he would help me. In June 2017 in honor of his 75th birthday, Mel Martin was one of the first bands hired by the Sacramento Jazz Coop. You are missed Mel, and we know that somewhere you are keeping the music playing. -Carolyne Swayze ... See MoreSee Less
