Album 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.
