Erik Palmberg: First Lines
by James Fleming

Django
Featuring the music of Chet Baker
Duration: 10:02
My father, Anthony Ricci (Jan. 17, 1930 - Oct. 2, 2018), was a jazz aficionado. Between his extensive record collection and taking me to concerts, he introduced me to jazz at a young age and helped shape my taste in music. I doubt there would be an All About Jazz without him. In celebration of Dad, we present seven tunes from seven albums spanning seven days that he played at times throughout the years.
Enjoy!
