About Me
Long, long, long-time jazz believer.
Grew up in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. Still there. What cold? Started singing in bands in high school, and have been stuck in the middle of music ever since with the occasional hiatus to earn a living the usual way — with a real job. Was a successful high school basketball and football coach, but music always lured me away. Ended up working for a festival/events organization — put on some big concerts, street festivals, did the planning, promotion, booking artists all that. Eventually led me to start my own company to work directly with artists, primarily jazz — Canadian and Australian — planning tours, doing promotion, finance, presenting, etc., even radio promotion!!!! Finally took the plunge to do a jazz show at a new college radio station here. Loved doing the show. Wished I'd been doing this a lot longer. Eventually tired of the radio station, so joined Taint Radio and stayed with them until Taint Radio closed in 2024, always playing music that I think needs playing. “One Man's Jazz” is me. I'm too old to be told what to play and when to play it. Long live the freedom of the music and taintradio.org.

Congratulations, Michael! To you and all the others who have contributed into the development of AAJ into what it is today. The work you've put into developing AAJ has been monumental and very important to the jazz industry. It's a great achievement and something to really proud of. A few years back, I was cleaning out some old paper files and found a page with a bunch of sites and emails. One of the websites was the original site that turned into CDBaby, and one of the emails was for a Michael Ricci at some jazz related thing that I don't remember but I'm sure sparked AAJ. I'm coming up on 25 years for my show next May and so what if we pat ourselves on the back for our accomplishments.This page was last updated on 2024-04-30.
