Fred Thelonious Baker

Fred Thelonious Baker is exactly the kind of musician I find myself rooting for, the dedicated craftsman who serves the music rather than chasing the spotlight. A guitarist from Tibshelf in Derbyshire who picked up bass in his mid-teens and became fluent on both, he is best known for Phil Miller's Canterbury-scene band In Cahoots, a corner of music beloved by genuine connoisseurs. That middle name, a nod to Thelonious Monk, hints at the lineage he carries. He also gives back as a music educator, shaping the next generation. I have huge respect for these unsung players who quietly hold the real sound together.
