“Although best known for his work in the jazz & swing idioms, John has performed in the Classical, Blues, Rock, R&B, Latin and World music genres,” Baoboian’s bio on his website said.

Born and raised in Watertown, Baboian performs and also is a professor at Berklee College of Music.
Baboian has performed with Frankie Avalon, Tom Jones, Ben Vareen and many others, according to his website. He has also played with many greats of jazz, including Gary Burton, Joe Lovano, and Esperanza Spalding.
