NEW ALBUM RELEASE
RETURN TO SHORE

VOCALIST KATE BAKER UNVEILS TREASURED DUO ALBUM ‘RETURN TO SHORE’ WITH LATE
HUSBAND AND GUITARIST VIC JURIS DUE OUT OCTOBER 7, 2022 VIA STRIKEZONE

Knowing that Kate Baker’s debut album was also guitarist Vic Juris’ last makes
The Duo Sessions particularly poignant. Given the obvious chemistry the married
couple shared on the bandstand, tunes like Brian Wilson’s “God Only Knows,”
“I’ve Grown Accustomed to His Face” and Alec Wilder’s “Blackberry Winter” now
take on profoundly deeper meaning here, turning them into heart-wrenching odes
to a lost love. Other gems on this intimate recording produced by guitarist and
longtime friend Dave Stryker include an energized version of Joni Mitchell’s
“Black Crow” that has Juris strumming furiously on acoustic guitar, the
waltz-time title track, which has Vic overdubbing tight unisons with Kate’s
scatting lines, a minor key “Moonscape” (title track of Juris’ 1997 SteepleChase
album, which his wife wrote new lyrics for) and a stirring take on Mitchell’s
“Both Sides Now.” That Juris, who died of cancer on Dec. 31, 2019, was an
all-world guitarist is a long-ago established fact. His 20-year tenure in Dave
Liebman’s band, along with 18 albums as a leader for the SteepleChase, firmly
cemented his position of the fretboard was undeniable. He holds back none of his
vaunted facility here – playing rich fingerstyle chord melodies, intricate
contrapuntal patterns and crisp arpeggios while picking lyrical single note
lines and tapping out bell-like false harmonics – but it’s always in service of
the tunes, his wife’s gorgeous voice and her clearly articulated lyrics. – Bill
Milkowski

Dave Liebman

THIS RECORDING IS A MASTERPIECE ON SO MANY LEVELS..TOUCHING, REFLECTIVE, LYRICAL
AND ABOVE ALL MUSICAL QUALITIES. THIS IS A RECORDING WITH LOVE AND MUTUAL
RESPECT RINGING CLEAR AS A BELL, INFUSED WITH MANY DEEP MUSICAL AND LIFE
QUALITIES. KATE’S EMOTIONAL VOCABULARY IS STRIKING, NUANCED AND BOLD. WE ALL
MISS VIC….HOWEVER THIS RECORDING LEAVES TESTIMONY TO THE LOVE THAT PERMEATES THE
MUSIC. REST IN PEACE VICTOR

Kate McGarry

> Return To Shore, the impossibly tender duo offering from vocalist Kate Baker
> and recently passed guitar icon Vic Juris has the gravitas of a musical love
> story 25 years in the making.  We’re privy to an intimate conversation between
> consummate artists as they write a final chapter together - an ode to each
> other and to the music they both created and loved. Heartrending and
> transcendent.

Ted Panken

> Baker is a world class jazz singer, the pellucid, soulful voice and fluid
> phrasing enable her to personalize the music including her own poetic, searing
> lyrics, at once universal and intensely introspective.

"GIVES THE LISTENER AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE IN FOR - AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
HEART-IMBUED EXPERIENCE. THE WORLD OF MUSIC WAS DEVASTATED BY THE LOSS OF VIC
JURIS, BUT HERE HE LEAVES US A MOST BEAUTIFUL CALLING CARD - SOMETHING TO EASE
OUR OWN PAIN AND CAUSE US TO SMILE WITH WONDER AT HIS INCREDIBLE GUITAR WORK.
KATE BAKER IS SUBLIME ON THIS RECORDING. HER VOICE IS PURE AND COMPELLING AND
SHE ALWAYS EMPLOYS IT TO SERVE THE SONG, NEVER TO MERELY SHOW OFF HER TECHNIQUE.
THE REAL PAYOFF HERE, THOUGH, IS IN THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THESE TWO ARTISTS.
IT IS A CONVERSATION WHICH IS AT TIMES PLAYFUL, AND AT OTHER TIMES
HEARTBREAKING.  BUT WHAT THIS RECORDING IS MOST OF ALL IS A TESTAMENT - A
TESTAMENT TO THE FACT THAT EVEN AFTER ALL ELSE FALLS AWAY, LOVE REMAINS.”
-JOE LOCKE 





"I’M MOVED BY THE BEAUTY, HOW KATE TELLS A STORY WITH THE LYRICS IN SUCH A
PERSONAL WAY AND THE PALPABLE CONNECTION BETWEEN HER AND VIC - WHOSE PLAYING IS
ON ANOTHER LEVEL HERE.”
-DAVE STRYKER
