Anita Baker says "goodbye", but Rotterdam says "hello", because with this Farewell Tour the singer is now visiting the NN North Sea Jazz Festival for the very first time. Baker was born in Ohio, but grew up with foster parents in Detroit. She started her career in the funk band Chapter 8 in the late 1970s. Baker returned to Detroit where she had all kinds of jobs, until a former employee of her record label convinced her to start a solo career. Her first album The Songstress was released in 1983, successor Rapture from 1986 ensured great success. The accompanying hit single Sweet Love remained her largest in the Netherlands; in the US that was two years later Giving You The Best That I Got. Baker now has no less than eight Grammys to her name, plus four American Music Awards and seven Soul Train Music Awards.
