Jazz: Rich Baratta Latin Jazz Sextet

A musician long before he became a film producer, Richard Baratta has built a career defined by range and reinvention.
 

He began playing professionally more than four decades ago, performing with big bands and ensembles around New York before transitioning into film, where he became a highly respected producer with credits including The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman, Joker, and several Spider-Man films.

Savant Records announces the release of Another Kind of Bird, the compelling new album from drummer and bandleader Richard Baratta. Baratta revisits music associated with Charlie Parker, reimagining the repertoire through inventive new arrangements and a forward-looking ensemble approach.

Baratta’s standout band features Grammy-nominated pianist and arranger Bill O’Connell, saxophonist Vincent Herring, guitarist Paul Bollenback, bassist Michael Goetz, and percussionist Paul Rossman.
