AJE are a London based 15 piece jazz with classical and electronic music orchestra. Baldry has created upbeat House, Disco and Electronic reworks all ten tracks of his debut and Gilles Peterson favourite Suite Shop album with the inclusion of mixes by Simbad, Leo Zero and Leftside Wobble. AJEs remixes mastered by Jon Hopkins engineer Guy Davie on his gorgeous 1970s EMI Lagos desk. Dylan Colby remix closing track on Hospital Records We Are 21 compilation. Baldrys impressive music career includes writing and producing for iconic labels Motown, RCA, Geffen and Capitol Records whilst arranging and conducting The BBC Concert Orchestra and The City Of Prague Philharmonic, Baldrys expansive experience has in result meant a bigger approach to ideas. With access to working with world-class orchestras, he has been able to create large-scale epic arrangements, which has no doubt furthered his talent for emotive, cinematic compositions. Often described as storytelling', Baldry himself regards AJEs musical output as the painting of a scene not unlike the role of a film score.
