Radovich & Dean Music

Dave Radovich started out as a tenor saxophone player in Seymour, CT before picking up alto sax, clarinet, and flute. Ultimately, he became a clarinet major at West-Conn, where he met Cindy, who became his accompanist. Dave is a true woodwind doubler, professionally playing all single reed instruments, as well as flute, piccolo, alto and bass flute. After college, Dave became a band director and apprenticed at an instrument repair shop near his home town every summer. Cindy Dean was a classical pianist from Putnam Lake with a jazz pianist for a father, the late Rudy Dean. Rudy and Cindy's styles of playing were at opposite ends of the spectrum - Rudy loved to play jazz standards in the style of Carmen Cavallaro and Errol Garner, while Cindy preferred to play Chopin and Beethoven. After college, Cindy and Dave married and started her career as a chorus teacher. Cindy took summer stock jobs as music director and rehearsal pianist throughout Connecticut and Mass.
