notes

Jim Bajor started playing piano at the age of five. This love of music has constituted his entire lifetime. After taking 25 years of private lessons and studying Music and Jazz at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan Jim began to embark on a lifelong career in music. He had always wanted to record his own compositions and this dream was realized in 1986 with a grassroots recordings of his "AWAKENING" then only available on LP. That recording has consequently been re-recorded digitally and is now available on CD and either is or will be here at CD Baby.

This was the beginning of Jims own record company. JBX Records. The digital version of AWAKENING did so well that in 1987 it was nominated for the new-age acoustic Grammy Award. Although Jim didn't win he was in the top five.Totally through self-promotion Jim's two CD's went on to sell well over 100.000 units. This attracted the attention of some in dependant labels in the early 1990's. Jim soon signed with Sugo records an in dependant in Palo Alto California.

After releasing a couple of samplers his debut CD with SUGO was "Somewhere In Time" recorded by the same engineer (Russell Bond) and in the same studio (The Music Annex) that George Winston insisted on recording his music at. Somewhere In Time is a combination of old standards and four of Jim's original songs. The recording has received great critical acclaim and Jim is proud to present it here at CD Baby. It is recorded in 21 bit all digital and is an audiophile recording.

Jim continues to live in the metropolitan Detroit area and appear in clubs, does concert dates and right now is in the process of recording two new CD to be out sometime later in 2002 or early 2003. Somewhere In Time is a collection of nostalgic works featuring some of the great composers of yesteryear and performed impeccably on acoustic Piano by Jim Bajor. This collection will take you on a journey down memory lane as it highlights some of the most inspiring and important music of our time. Jim is currently in the process of recording two new CD's to be out later next year. He is also signed a management agreement with Infoexchange Inc. and there are plans to do concert appearances and much more. To date "Somewhere In Time" has been Jim's best selling CD with International sales over 300,000 units. If you like piano music you'll love this CD. This is the perfect CD for just background listening or for that special romantic evening by the fireside. This is some of Jim's very best work. Jim is very pleased to offer "Somwhere In Time" through CD Baby the best CD store for the independant artist on the internet. Thank you Derek Sivers.

    We enjoyed the choice of music on the CD, and the very professional performance. Keep it up

  • beautiful, engaging, relaxing piano bar-type music
    author: Andrea Berlin

    5{ical - a lovely combination of dreamy riffs and involving keyboard flourishes, but never over the top. Bajor loves these songs, and his arrangements are so persuasive that you never miss the vocals. A real treat that leaves you wanting more.

  • Good dinner music. Like Bajor's own pieces the best.
    author: Patricia Quaranto

    This is a nice CD for playing during dinner when entertaining guests. We all liked Jim's own arrangements the best. All the pieces were done well but some are getting a bit tiresome and so his own pieces were a breath of fresh air. Wish he'd do another cd we already have his Gentle Images.

  • Sets the mood
    author: Vivien Xie

    The most wonderful lounge piano music that soothes even the savage beast. A great blend of contemporary jazz and the ol' traditional piano. Breath-taking renditions of famous jazz pieces, beautifully crafted, created and tinkled by Jim Bajor.

  • Reminescent of the great Jazz Clubs of New York City
    author: John Allegor

    This Cd reminds me of sometime I spend in New York hearing the Jazz great like Bill Evans, Ramsey Lewis and Ahmad Jamal and some of New Yorks great jazz rooms like the Village Vanguard. This music is very loungy and soophisticated. It is great jazz piano very sophisticated and romantic. I would highly reccommend it. John Allegor Salt Lake City, Utah

  • Awesome Piano Music that reaches the soul
    author: Chad Lawton

    I was given this CD as a gift and it is Awesome! It is a great blend of the old jazz standards as well as four original songs. The Recording Quality of the Piano is stunning!

  • Very Plesant and relaxing solo Piano Music
    author: Jeffrey Steinberg

    I came upon this CD serendipitously and it hasn't left my car CD Player since. It is very relaxing solo piano music of the likes we used to hear in the old jazz clubs. Mr. Bajors execution is meticulous and precise and he has a great feel for this music. If you like jazz and lounge music you will certainly want this excellent CD.
