Margie Baker Bio

Over the years, Margie Baker made a name for herself as a premiere West Coast jazz vocalist. She was featured in jazz music magazines and won ìBest Entertainerî in 1989 at the San Francisco Gold Awards. Jimmy Lyons, founder of the Monterey Jazz Festival, was determined that she perform at the Festival every year.

Our main festival was in September, but we also traveled all over the world, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and then I traveled to Russia.î

In the late 1990s, Margie settled back into local gigs, playing hotels and what was left of the small clubs in the Bay Area, such as Shanghai 1930 and Club Jazz Nouveau. In 2004, she released her first CD, ìMargie Baker & Friends, Live at Rasselasî on the Consolidated Artist Productions label, a small label owned by Michael Longo, Dizzy Gillespieís pianist. So far they have released three CDs, and Margie has been spotted recently in the Local 6 rehearsal hall working on a new one. ìMy publicist at the label said itís about time that I go into the studio and make a purist jazz album.î She also has a longstanding invitation to perform at the Dizzy Gillespie Theater in New York.

Margie continues to perform regularly at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, as well as for other special events around the Bay Area.
