Upon his arrival in New York in 1996, he was accepted to the Jazz Department at the New School University on a full scholarship. After finishing college, Baevsky stayed in New York and remained busy working within the local New York jazz community. In 2005, he released his first CD as a leader “Introducing Dmitry Baevsky” (Lineage Records). The album features such masters as Cedar Walton, Jimmy Cobb and John Webber.
Since then, Baevsky performed and/or recorded with musicians such as Peter Washington, Willie Jones III , Harry Allen, Peter Bernstein, Cedar Walton, Junior Mance, Dennis Irwin, Jeremy Pelt, Steve Williams, Joe Magnarelli, David Wong …
