Saturday Night Jazz: The Ricky Alfonso Group

The Ricky Alfonso Group June 5, 8 pm $10.

Trumpeter Ricky Alfonso has been a mainstay on the East Coast jazz scene since the early 1970s. Born into a musical family, Ricky is a product of the modern jazz movement with a trumpet style that pays homage to Miles Davis, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Ricky has worked with many jazz luminaries including Bill Barron, Mario Pavone, Fred Simmons, Steve Davis, Tom McClung, Michael Musillami, Bill Lowe, Ed Blackwell and Joe Fonda.

Ricky’s group will feature his original modern jazz compositions plus tunes by Miles, Freddie, Terrance Blanchard, Wynton Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson and Monk. Joining Ricky will be Chris Casey on piano, Steve Porter on bass and Tido Holtkamp on drums. Join us for an evening of swing, bop and blues with some style.
