  decades: master drummer\, Grammy nominee\, film producer\, musician\; bu
 t his latest headwear takes us down a nostalgic road of classic rock and 
 soul recordings from the mid to late 1960s.\n\nBaratta returned to his or
 iginal love\, music\, after a very successful 35 year career in the film 
 business. With over 50 years of experience as a jazz drummer\, he enjoys 
 the free flowing innovative sensibility that he applies to his work in th
 e film industry. As 30-year member of the Directors Guild of America\, as
  well as the Producers Guild of America\, Baratta has worked on many Acad
 emy Award-nominated films\, including “Donnie Brasco\,” “The Wolf Of Wall
  Street\,” “The Irishman\,” “Joker” and others.\n\nSince 2020 Baratta has
  recorded six projects\, most notably the album “Music in Film” featuring
  Grammy nominated track “Chopsticks\,” with his current working band of V
 incent Herring\, Bill O’Connell\, Paul Bollenback\, Michael Goetz and Pau
 l Rossman. “Music In Film The Sequel\,” is a similar follow up\, building
  and exploring more film compositions. “Off The Charts\,” the fourth proj
 ect was a critically acclaimed\, audience favorite\, looking back at some
  of the classic B-sides of Jazz from the 1970s\, with musicians\, John Pa
 titucci\, Jerry Bergonzi\, David Kikoski\, and Paul Rossman. All three of
  these recording spent many weeks on Jazz Week\, the definitive guide to 
 national airplay.\n\nBaratta’s last recording\, “Looking Back\,” released
  on Savant Records in February 2025 with his working band\, explores such
  tunes as Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”\, James Brown’s “I Feel Good”\, Th
 e Beatles’ “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”\, Led Zeppelin’s "Whole Lotta 
 Love”\, Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”\, and five other rock classics. The a
 rrangements by pianist Bill O’Connell are absolutely swinging affairs wit
 h a fresh unique approach and a funky Latin Jazz feel.\n\nNever one to re
 st on his laurels\, Baratta keeps pushing the envelope and presenting mus
 ical projects that inspire listening from different perspectives. Hearing
  this band live is truly a treat for the ears and you don’t want to miss 
 an opportunity to see them perform.\n\nOn May 22\, 2026 Baratta’s latest 
 recording\, a very unique\, fresh and modern approach to Charlie Parker’s
  music will be released. This is sure to turn some heads.\n\nReservations
  suggested\; call 845-855-1300 to book your table.\n\nMore info: https://
