Uncle Cheef, Brewster, NY Presents
RICHARD BARATTA “GOTHAM CITY LATIN JAZZ QUINTET”
Grammy Nomimated drummer Richard Baratta moved to NYC in 1975 to pursue his musical career and has performed with the likes of John Stubblefield, Joe Ford, Frank Strozier, Vernon Reid, Cyro Baptista, Hank Mobley, Johnny Hartman and many more. In 1984, Baratta decided to dramatically alter paths, and pursued a career in movie production. Since working on his first film, Desperately Seeking Susan, Baratta has worked on over 50 movies. In 2016 he decided to return to his roots and main love and began performing music again, while continuing to produce films. From Baratta’s lips, “I’m telling you, I’m in heaven. A light bulb has gone off in my head and the music seems clearer, fresher and more illuminating than ever.”
He has recorded four records since 2019, and has been leading his two different bands, THE GOTHAM CITY LATIN JAZZ SEPTET, AND THE 3B’s + 2, in Jazz Clubs, Music Festivals, Summer Concerts, etc. on a regular basis.
