Radified

About the Artist
A pianist since the age of 5, Rose Ann Dimalanta, alias rad. went on to study music at Berkeley with Susan Muscarella while at the same time learning and playing alongside Bay Area legends like Pete Escovedo, Benny Velarde, David Garibaldi (ex-Tower of Power), Ray Obiedo and such prominent players as multi-percussionist Michael Spiro, Rebeca Mauleon (author of the Salsa bible "Salsa Guidebook for Piano and Ensemble"), among many others.

Heavily influenced from those laid back R&B and latin jazz sounds of the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, the keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter, began her solo project and career from the harbors of Hamburg, Germany, performing in the clubs of the reeperbahn red light district (as did a well known English band, originally from Liverpool, starts with a B.....).

In 1992 her first solo album. "radified" took European dancefloor charts by storm. The track "Wishy" became an underground club hit in cities from London to Munich to Montpellier. Its successor "Gotta Be," with the jazzy track "Venus Drops" helped make rad. a repeatedly sold-out act at Paris' Hot Brass Club as well as London's Jazz Cafe.

An exciting live performer and a perrenial concert tip in venues all over Europe, rad. has consistently been on the road since the release of "radified". FAQ: rad. stands for Rose Ann Dimalanta. She acquired the name rad., when serving a term as president of the U.C. Jazz Department of the University of California in Berkeley in her own radical way in 1989.

Customer Reviews:

Roots of "Acid Jazz".......2000-06-10

This one's an excellent buy. Ever wondered where "Acid Jazz" originated? This album probably answers a few question about this revival phenomenon that took place in the early 90's in Europe. But RAD is a revival band. All songs are original and the arrangements unique. The CD is full of raw and funky energy from the first to the last song. The cover is very cool and the whole CD captures the spirit of the original AJ movement like no other.
