SUMMARY:Rick Stone Trio
DESCRIPTION:From fresh interpretations of jazz standards\, to lyricall
	y evocative originals\, New York City based guitarist Rick Stone is an
	 artist with a clear musical vision. His fluid\, full-bodied sound pay
	s homage to the great jazz guitar masters of the past while maintainin
	g a personal style with a contemporary edge. Rick's latest release "Sa
	mba de Novembro" showcases his guitar in a variety of solo\, duo\, tri
	o and quartet settings along with long-time associates Tardo Hammer (p
	iano) and Yosuke Inoue (bass)\, and special guest Matt Wilson (drums).
	 Writes Jim Carlton in Just Jazz Guitar "His lyrical lines and imagina
	tive ideas on a mix of originals and hip standards reflect his maturit
	y as an interpreter of great tunes and his mastery as an artistically 
	adept player. His tone is bright and crisp\, some would say traditiona
	l\, and his ideas are fresh." Rick Stone began playing guitar at age n
	ine in his hometown of Cleveland. He developed an early affinity for t
	he blues\, but it was in the mid-seventies that his passion for jazz w
	as sparked after hearing a live performance of saxophonist Sonny Stitt
	. His musical quest led him to Berklee College of Music and then on to
	 New York where he found a fertile and stimulating environment in Barr
	y Harris' Jazz Cultural Theatre. While studying with the legendary pia
	nist\, Rick honed his craft sitting in alongside veteran players Tommy
	 Flanagan\, Lionel Hampton\, Clarence "C" Sharpe\, and Junior Cook. Th
	en\, under the tutelage of jazz masters Jimmy Heath\, Ted Dunbar\, Don
	ald Byrd\, Tony Purrone and Hal Galper\, he earned his M.A. at Queens 
	College. Soon Rick began developing a reputation in his own right\, le
	ading all-star groups with sidemen like Kenny Barron\, Eric Alexander\
	, Vernel Fournier\, Richard Wyands\, Ralph Lalama\, Dennis Irwin and B
	illy Hart in performances at venues such as Carnegie Hall's Weill Reci
	tal Hall\, The Smithsonian Institute\, The Blue Note and Birdland. His
	 recordings "Blues For Nobody" and "Far East" achieved wide critical a
	cclaim. From 1993-96 Rick led a series of guitar duos at the Swing Str
	eet Caf‚ with guests including Mark Elf\, Roni Ben-Hur\, Peter Leitc
	h\, Freddie Bryant and Peter Bernstein. In 1996 his trio toured South 
	America\, and from 1997-2001 he played regularly at Sette MoMA (in the
	 Museum of Modern Art). A sought-after sideman\, Rick has worked exten
	sively with Irene Reid\, Ronny Whyte\, Carol Sudhalter\, Sol Yaged and
	 many others. He is featured on Carol Sudhalter's "It's Time" and "Las
	t Train To Astoria"\, and Al Ashley's "These Are Them" (with Dave Leib
