Join Southampton Arts Center and Hamptons Jazz Fest for an evening of world-class jazz on Friday, March 15, starting at 6:30 PM. “Music In Film: The Reel Deal” will feature Richard Baratta and Gotham City Latin/Jazz Quintet. The event begins with a social hour at a complimentary wine bar.
After over three decades as a Hollywood film producer, drummer Richard Baratta released two albums focusing on songs from the movies. The first, “Music In Film: The Reel Deal,” gained a Grammy nomination for pianist Bill O’Connell’s arrangement of Euphemia Allen’s “Chopsticks.”
Baratta followed this up with “Music in Film: The Sequel.” His third album, “Off The Charts,” changed focus completely, targeting compositions by some well-known jazz composers and performers of the ’60s and ’70s.
