Booking Information

 

Born and raised in Chicago, Michael Ricordati spent years learning his craft with blues, funk, rock, fusion and jazz groups. Now in San Diego, Michael says, "I love Chicago, but I'd rather inhale smog in the sunshine during an earthquake then freeze to death gigging on Rush St."

Melodic, intelligent, lush, contrapuntal and painstakingly detailed. Lots of sax and keys, great grooves, strong rhythms, nice layers, intricate textures, and flowing  melodies weave a colorful tapestry of sound. Tracks range from smooth jazz to jazz fusion:  pop jazz to cool, west coast jazz...there are even some classical, reggae new age and latin flavors.

Michael's influences are artists like the Yellowjackets, Steely Dan, Fattburger, Tower of Power, Dave Weckl, Warren Hill, Sting, Spiro Gyra et al.

Michael's CD releases to date are, Faith Forgotten ©1998, and, Sleepy Little Goddess, ©1999. Be sure to visit Michael's website at www.inthegrooves.com Watch for Michael's next release coming in Spring/Summer 2000.

Michael Ricordati's "Sleepy Little Goddess" is awakened with a series of uplifting compositions consisting of Jazz-New  Age-Fusion. Instrumental music is perfected within the form of a conceptual vision through the artist's eyes. Ricordati builds the beauty of a vanished world in your mind with the enduring quality of his music. The sparks of intelligence fly all around you  while  listening to layer upon layer of  calming ambrosial musical  pleasure. This music has a renewing effect upon you. I really enjoyed every arrangement. This CD helped me feel the warmth of the sun and the beauty that surrounds me. A positive and complete experience. -MuzikMan/March 10, 2000 (muzikman.com)
