His quartet includes noted saxophonist GENE GHEE\, rising star guitarist ILAN EISENWEIG & in-demand drummer BYRON LANDHAM. \nFor more than four-decades musician Radam Schwartz has dedicated his career to jazz as a performer & educator. Drawn to music at an early age\, he learned both piano & saxophone. He became proficient at the piano\, though by high school & in college\, including Boston’s Berklee College of Music\, his desire to be a jazz organist grew. After graduating in 1975\, the desire & hard work to become a jazz organist paid off for him in the late 1970s & continues today. His performing credits include working with many jazz artists. Notable among them are vocalists Al Hibbler & Arthur Prysock\, saxophonists David “Fathead” Newman\, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis & “Red” Prysock\, Bassist Ron Carter & guitarist Russell Malone. His resume also shows extensive recordings as a sideman & eight more as a leader. \nEqually important to Schwartz is educating people about music\, the history of jazz & mentoring young people with interest. Though New York born\, he’s resided in New Jersey since the 1970s & is hugely supportive of New Jersey’s jazz scene. He believes it deserves the same importance that’s attached to jazz in Philly & New York & has advanced that idea by teaching in a variety of New Jersey settings. Included are Rutgers University\, the Jazz Institute of NJ\, as music director\, the Middlesex County Arts High School\, as Artist-in-Residence\, Red Bank’s “Jazz Arts Academy” & “Jazz House Kids” in Montclair.
