Richard Redding is a Philadelphia-based saxophonist: blues, rock, inprovisation
Richard Redding is a saxophonist living in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. His father was a talented sax player who enjoyed the “big band” style of music. A native of Glenside PA, Richard played sax, clarinet, oboe and recorder as a youth. Mr. Redding has been performing in rock bands, blues bands and various small ensembles for almost 50 years. An experienced professional musician, he is particularly skilled in improvising and jamming. Mr. Redding would like to express his sincere gratitude to the bandleaders and singer-songwriters who have invited him onto the performance stage: Chris Marceill, Jake Michael, Ben Arnold, Zan Gardner, Tom Gala, Richard Dreuding, Jim Harris, Buzz Shortland, Bruce McFarland, Susan Lembo, Grant Fox, Jay Klales, Jay Popky, Kyle Roth, and Joseph Parsons. The friendships are just as important as the music. More “thank-yous” go out to the musicians who have so generously invited Richard into the recording studio: Chris Marsceill, Jake Michael and Pam Graboyes. Richard is married to Madeleine Nist. His son and daughter, Blake and Alison, have careers in the education field. Blake is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist. His 2009 debut album of original songs, entitled, “Blake Redding,” is available at blakeredding.com, or you can listen to Blake’s channel on Pandora.
