RIO SIDIK QUARTET FEAT DIAH GAYATRI ON AND ON LIVE IN RYOSHI
Rio Sidik was born and raised in the city of Surabaya in Java, Indonesia. Rio's grandfather, Dariono, played the trumpet for the Indonesian Navy and today continues to perform nightly with his big band. It was Dariono who inducted Rio into the world of music, taking personal responsibility for training the young boy in jazz trumpet and the techniques of improvisation. Rio first performed on stage at the age of ten with his brothers and sister, going on to appear regularly with his grandfather's big band.
Rio has appeared as a soloist with many of Indonesia's top musicians, like Indra Lesmana, Buby Chen, Erwin Gutawa Orchestra. Rio has a talent for composition, and is a driving force behind much of his Jazz Quartet and Saharadja's original work. His true passion is jazz; his favorites include Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval, and Freddy Hubbard, to name a few.
