| The BUDESA BROTHERS are among the most in demand performers on the current jazz scene. Their high energy style of playing and entertaining showmanship make them a favorite for live concert and festival appearances. RICH BUDESA has recorded with some of the top names in the music business including : Grover Washington Jr., George Duke, Lenny White and Christian McBride. ROB BUDESA has logged time as a sideman with greats : John Swana, Bootsie Barnes, Papa John DeFrancesco and Duane Eubanks. Together the brothers are highly regarded as a team of swing merchants that deliver a deeply felt sense of blues and soul in their compositions and improvisations. Their sound is rooted in the tradition of the great Philadelphia jazz organ/guitar combos. The influences of Jimmy Smith, Pat Martino, Shirley Scott, Jimmy Bruno and Don Paterson are evident in their approach to rhythmic and harmonic concepts; yet, they clearly have developed their own unique and distinctive sound. |
