In 2008 double bassist/singer/songwriter Nat Baldwin released Most Valuable Player, an album that led Pitchfork to say "he brings fierce performances to these polished compositions." Now five years later, Western Vinyl is proud to be releasing the original demos from Most Valuable Player, which were recorded in 2005 and 2006. After studying avant-garde jazz and improvisation with jazz legend Anthony Braxton, Nat Baldwin started writing songs featuring double bass and vocals.
