Freddie Redd/Butch Warren Quintet

Freddie Redd is in the top rank of classic hard bop pianists and is best known for his early 1960's recordings for the legendary Blue Note label (which some consider to be the quintessential Blue Note albums) as well as his starring role in the Broadway play and movie "The Connection", which he also wrote the music for. He also enjoyed a stint in Charles Mingus' band, led a quintet with Jackie McLean and Tina Brooks, played with many other greats including Art Blakey, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins and Lou Donaldson, and recorded with Gene Ammons, Tiny Grimes, Art Farmer and Howard McGhee among others.   Butch Warren has gained fame as a house bassist for Blue Note Records in the early 1960's. He first recorded with Kenny Dorham in 1960 and then recorded with Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Sonny Clark, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, and Stanley Turrentine among others on some of the most important albums of the era. He joined Thelonious Monk in 1963 for a ten month tenure in what some regard as Monk's strongest quartet. Brad Linde recently transcribed Freddie's classic material and arrangements and gathered the players to join Freddie in a variety of performances recreating the original Blue Note quintet settings at Birdland, Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, and Smalls Jazz Club. Brad is a saxophonist, pianist, composer/arranger, educator and bandleader.     Bobby Watson When 8:30PM - 9:30PM February 18 & 19, 2011 Where Bohemian Caverns  Description Doors at 7:30pm 2 Shows at 8:30pm & 10:30 $25 in advance $30 at the door Full Menu Available  Tickets Buy Now Bobby Watson Saxophonist,composer,producer and educator, Bobby Watson was formally trained at University of Miami.

LAMMAN RUCKER

Rucker was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the son of Nana Malaya, a playwright, and Eric Rucker. Rucker spent his formative years in the greater Washington, DC, Maryland area. He hails from a very dedicated and supportive immediate and extended family. He first had an interest in acting after he was placed in many child pageants. His first acting role was as Martin Luther King in the 4th grade. He was in the drama club in 7th grade and then attended high school at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. He has an undergraduate degree in Information Technology and Business and his graduate degree in Education and Curriculum Development. He played basketball in college and semi-pro ball for a short time after that. He is the oldest of three children, having a younger sister and brother who has since passed.

 

 

Rucker's major role came in 2002 when he assumed the role of attorney T. Marshall Travers on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns, opposite Tamara Tunie. He left the series the following year, and portrayed Garret Williams on ABC's All My Children in 2005. He has starred in a few of Tyler Perry's productions such as a guest role on House of Payne, the film version of Why Did I Get Married? alongside Perry, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, as well as appearing in a small role in the film version of Meet The Browns as Vera's adult son, Will. He currently has a starring role on Perry's second sitcom Meet the Browns reprising his role as Will. This time, Will has a much larger role (compared to his part in the movie) just gotten married to a beautiful fellow co-worker. To promote his work in Perry's films, Rucker appeared on The Mo'Nique Show March 14 , 2010 and discussed the fear and beauty of shooting at a location so close to water, yet so close to home.

 

Rucker remains active with a variety of grassroots, civic, and international organizations that focus on the improvement of critically challenged communities in the US. He is represented by D.C. based sports and entertainment attorney E. Lindsey Maxwell II, Esq. The two met in during their college years while in Pittsburgh. Two years ago, Mr. Rucker and Mr. Maxwell formed Black Tiger Edutainment, a company devoted to entertainment ventures and production of independent films. Earlier this year, Mr. Rucker and Mr. Maxwell teamed up with Dallas spa owner, Thai Morrisson to form a new skin care line called Forplai (www.forplai.com).
