| The Jazz Ensemble Raddy & The Cats was born out of musical interactions at Montgomery College, Gizmo Recording Studio and other venues in the metro DC area. Forced to relocate to Maryland due to Katrina, New Orleans native John "Raddy" Lowery began exploring musical opportunities with his teachers and colleagues. One of the most exciting projects was the recording of his CD �Re-Creation� which includes tunes he used to play with the Jazz Cats in the Market Café in New Orleans' French Market, as well as well known classic Jazz tunes with new arrangements. The Jazz Ensemble includes well known guests such as: ROBERT REDD on the piano who appears often as a free-lance musician at Blues Alley with numerous local and national artists as well as performing with the Smithsonian Masterworks Ensemble. Bassist VICTOR DVOSKIN who first gained popularity in the former USSR in the early seventies. Jazz critics considered him the number-one bass player of the eighties, earning three stars in the Penguin Guide to Jazz. By 1991, Victor had arrived in Washington, DC as part of the Russian/American Jazz Quartet, Jazznost. DC native Bassist SCOTT GIAMBUSSO who has been playing music in this town since 1968 and continues to thrive on the local party and concert circuit. On Wednesday nights you can find him sitting in the guitar chair in The James Bazen Big Band at Paisano's in Rockville. |
