sheldonm Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.freep.com/article/20090318/ENT0...sings+the+blues ...that would be a drag.

Hot Ptah Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 That would be awful if it had to close. It is a great place to hear music. I have fond memories of going there to see Dexter Gordon, Joe Williams, Betty Carter, Mongo Santamaria, and Pat Metheny/Dewey Redman/Charlie Haden/Paul Motian. It is a nice place with all seats close to the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazaro Vega Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Caught Mose Allison at that icon of a Detroit jazz club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 My mom used to live in Ferndale, probably walking distance to Baker's maybe 15 years ago. I was a little into jazz at the time, enough to go to the Detroit Jazz Fest, but not enough to seek out Baker's. Too bad. If she was still living there, I would definitely make it in at least once.

connoisseur series500 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Don't forget, Organissimo has played there too. I wish I could have gone. We heard them there once. Saw Organissimo twice over there, which represented the only two times I had been there. Nice place. Sorry to hear the news, and I hope they can somehow survive. It's a bit of a haul from my place.
