Rico Jones: The Spiritual Sax Of Bloodlines
Click the play button to listen
Rico's new album BloodLines (Giant Step Arts), captures something you don't hear much anymore—a live recording that feels like a complete story. Recorded at Brooklyn's Ornithology Jazz Club, it's five original compositions that explore his multicultural heritage, from his Indigenous and Latino roots to his deep connection with Black American musical traditions.
Based in Harlem, Rico's already performed with Esperanza Spalding at the Blue Note and co-led the first all-Indigenous big band. His approach to jazz honors the past while pushing forward, whether he's working with veterans like Joe Martin and Nasheet Waits or mentoring students in Jersey City.
