Rick Savage 4tet

Rick Savage brings a sound & soul to jazz not commonly heard today. Deeply rooted in the "sound & soul" of Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard & Woody Shaw, Rick heard them all live many times & soaked it all in. A new band & cd round it all out for 2008, so stay tuned! Some of the great artists that Rick has performed/recorded with include; Tania Maria, Jack McDuff, Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett, Gerry Mulligan, Mel Lewis, Toshiko Aikioshi, Warne Marsh, Randy Brecker, Anthony Jackson, Nestor Torres.
