Duck Baker is one of the most highly regarded fingerstyle guitarists of her generation.  He is unique among jazz guitarists in that his repertoire spans the entire history of the music from ragtime to the modern masters like Thelonious Monk.  His musical interests encompass more traditional forms as well such as gospel, Celtic and Appalachian music. 

Duck grew up in Richmond, VA and passed his teenage years playing rock and blues in local bands before becoming interested in acoustic blues.  He still plays jazz with a trio including guitarist Bob Wilson and fiddler Tony Marcus.  Duck recorded several albums for the guitar label Kicking Mule during the 70’s and 80’s and has worked with Irish fiddler Kieran Fahy and traditional singer Molly Andrews with whom he performed a couple of times for Fiddle & Bow back in the 90’s. 

As of 2002 he is involved in several other duos:  with trombone master Roswell Rudd, bassist Mark Dresser, and guitarists Jamie Findlay, Woody Mann and Ken Emerson.  He also leads a trio which includes violinist Carla Kihlstedt and clarinetist Ben Goldberg.  Acoustic Guitar Magazine dubbed his album “Spinning Song,” released in 1997 “...one of the best guitar records ever recorded.”
