“Old” School

Read "“Old” School" reviewed by H William Stine


Old hat; same old same old; you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I don't get it why people are so negative about the word, old. Some of our greatest songwriters have used that word in some of their best songs. And some of our youngest singers are giving new voice to these old songs. ...

Here's To Life

Featuring the music of Shirley Horn
Duration: 5:41

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7

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!
