John Previti is an award-winning bassist who grew up in the Southern Maryland-D.C. area immersed in the region’s bubbling cauldron of musical styles: swing, country, jazz, R&B, soul, and the roots of rockabilly. In 1976, he met guitar great Danny Gatton. Danny liked his playing so much he invited John to join the new band he was starting. That group went on to make guitar history and John became Danny’s bass player for the next eighteen years.
John Previti has the distinction of receiving two Washington Area Musicians Awards in 2003 — one for best jazz instrumentalist in the Metro area, and another for best jazz recording for his CD Swinging Lullabyes for My Rosetta.
