Ricardo Strobert hails from Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights in Brooklyn, NY.  He was originally inspired by both his mother, Esther, and his older brother, drummer Andrei Strobert, with whom he formed an early duo, with “Ricky” on alto saxophone and flute. Since then, he has taught music extensively, worked internationally with such notable artists as Roy Haynes, Mike Glick, Roy Campbell Jr, Marvin “Hannibal” Peterson and Eric Frazier, and performed with Kellis and Maceo Parker, Ed Stout, Gene Ghee, Chief Bey, Montego Joe, Radha Botofasina, Reggie Workman, Bob Cunningham, Anthony Jackson, Ken “Makanda” McIntyre and others, while the Strobert Brothers composed and produced three CDs of their own.
