Rik Wright & Tony Grasso
Music: Jazz
Comment by: J&J Music
See these guys!
What can I say about Rik and Tony? Well first Rik is not only a slinging and slamming jazz guitarist, he's also a huge supporter of our local jazz scene. It's not very often you find both of those things in 1 guy. He is a fine guitarist and his jazz music is energetic and very enjoyable. Tony the 'T' man Trumpeter - well let's put it simply - he has more fire in his horn than Mt Vesuvius had lava. Tony is a master songwriter and the spirit in which he plays his trumpet has the power of bringing you all the way to New Orleans. I dig playing with guy, but I really dig listening to his ideas, phrasing and tone. This is an excellent line up of great players (many of whom I know personally or have worked with on the bandstand). One thing is certain...you don't find jazz bands like this everyday...see these guys - they really PLAY!
