This tallies six total GRAMMY® nominations for the renowned duo and marks their third nomination in the Jazz Vocal category. This immersive and soul-stirring album was recorded in front of an engaged live audience at APPARATUS - an interdisciplinary design studio in New York City. For three magical nights, the indomitable couple and their exceptional band graced the stage at MUMS, an ephemeral jazz club created within APPARATUS’ gallery. The Evening : Live at APPARATUS displays the transformative power of performance, in a presentation of both style and substance. “For years I’ve thought that the vibrant, soulful sounds of The Baylor Project, the husband-and-wife duo of vocalist Jean and drummer Marcus Baylor, belonged in a jazz party; it turns out that designer Gabriel Hendifar agrees,” – Martin Johnson, JazzTimes.
