Richard Baratta has worn many hats over the decades; master drummer, Grammy nominee, film producer, musician, but his latest headwear takes us down a nostalgic road of classic rock and soul recordings from the mid to late 1960’s. Here on his most recent recording Baratta, together with his working band, explores such tunes as “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Purple Haze,” “I Feel Good,” “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,” “Whole Lotta Love,” “Respect,” and other rock mega-hits. With a real all-star ensemble on hand, the arrangements by pianist Bill O’Connell, are thoroughly swinging affairs with a fresh, unique approach and a funky Latin Jazz feel. As with his Music in Film series, Richard Baratta proves himself to be a gifted innovator at transforming familiar, and often surprising, material into vibrant jazz performances that bring new concepts to these truly iconic tunes and underline their timeless appeal.
