SUMMARY:Richard Baratta Latin Jazz  at Clements Place Feb 23
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar now to ensure you don’t miss any of this extraordinary evening\, filled with incredible musicians and an exceptional jazz performance. \n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\nDrummer Richard Baratta Latin Jazz Band\n\n\n\nRichard Baratta was born into a musically oriented family in Poughkeepsie\, NY in 1950. He began his musical journey at the age 12\, playing saxophone\, flute and drums\, and eventually\, exclusively drums. He played mostly jazz all through his teens. \n\n\n\nAfter earning a BA in History from Wagner College in 1973\, and after studying with Jack DeJohnette\, Bob Moses and Steve Haas he moved to NYC in 1975 to pursue his musical career. From 1975 to 1984 Baratta played gigs and recorded in and out of NYC. Some of his bandmates and associations were with John Stubblefield\, Joe Ford\, Frank Strozier\, Hal Galper\, Mike Richmond\, Saheb Sarbib\, Dennis Irwin\, Vernon Reid\, Billy Bang\, Jack Wilkens\, Ryo Kawasaki\, Jessica Hagedorn and the Gangster Choir\, Guilherme Franco\, Pe De Boi\, Cyro Baptista\, and a very memorable one day hit with Hank Mobley and then Johnny Hartman. \n\n\n\nIn 1984\, Baratta decided to dramatically alter paths\, and pursued a career in movie production. “Money was tight\, the gigs were hard to come by\, and I was getting married and wanted to raise a family. It was just time for a very difficult decision that had to be made. I looked back many times and terribly missed the joy in playing and the camaraderie with the musicians. It was a total about face\, but I have no regrets\, except missing the live performance.” \n\n\n\nSince working on his his first film\, Desperately Seeking Susan in 1984\, Baratta has worked on over 50 movies\, first as a Location Manager\, then Unit Production Manager\, and for the past 15 years as a Co-Producer and Executive Producer. A small sampling of his filmography includes\, Academy Award nominated Joker Joaquin Phoenix winning the Best Actor Award\, Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award nominated The Irishman\, Dr.Strange\, The Wolf of Wall Street\, five Spiderman movies\,Too Big To Fail\, Smurfs\, Taking Pelham 123\, Across the Universe\, Donnie Brasco\, Working Girl\, and Big. \n\n\n\nFor a full listing of Baratta’s film credits\, visit IMDb:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0053102/ \n\n\n\nFrom December 2016 to the present he has played with Eric Alexander\, Vincent Herring\, Walter Blanding\, Marcus Printup\, Bruce Harris\, Gerald Cannon\, Bill O’Connell\, Emmett Cohen\, Jeb Patton\, Steve Ash\, Chris Pattishal\, Mike LeDonne\, Ray Gallon\, Dave Kikoski Danny Nimmer\, Jerry Weldon\, Rogerio Bocatto\, Paul Bollenback\, Dave Stryker\, Mike Goetz\, Essiet Essiet\, Yoshi Waki\, and many others. \n\n\n\nJoining Richard Baratta Trio for this performance will be:\n\n\n\nBill O’Connell Keys and Michael Goetz on bass.

After establishing himself in the local music scene\, he joined organist Jack McDuff’s group for two years 1984-85. When McDuff wasn’t on the road (literally traveling by van all over the country) they worked a steady four-night a week gig at Dude’s Lounge in Harlem. His first break\, this turned out to be an invaluable experience\, paying his dues night after night with the soulful jazz organist. \n\n\n\nIt was at Dude’s Lounge that Stryker met tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine\, who would occasionally sit in. After leaving McDuff\, Turrentine asked Stryker to join his quintet. From 1986-1995 he played with the legendary saxophonist at all the major festivals\, concert halls\, and clubs throughout the world. He is featured on two Turrentine CD’s (Stanley recorded Stryker’s tune “Sidesteppin”). \n\n\n\nWith Turrentine\, Stryker was able to play with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard. The ten years playing alongside the tenor legend helped Stryker realize the importance of having his own sound. Dave continued to work with Stanley and was with him during his final week at the Blue Note in NYC\, when he passed in Sept. 2000. Stryker has also performed with James Moody\, Jimmy Smith\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Jimmy Heath\, Kevin Mahogany\, Eliane Elias\, Joe Lovano\, Steve Slagle and many others. \n\n\n\nJoin Us \n\n\n\nSo grab your friends\, family\, or significant other\, and head over to South Valley BBQ and Lounge at 34 S.
