Ricky Rienzo

A strong been-here-before feeling hits us as we enter. The scotch has just the right bite, the bartender knows our names and the stories he tells sound familiar. But not nearly as familiar as those being sung by a fair haired man in a plain dark suit, backed by a small jazz combo, pouring life into every lyric. Just lucky enough to have the opportunity and ability to work at what he quite evidently loves; keeping alive the songs. Paying homage to the greatest composers, lyricists, musicians, performers of our, or any other time. You'll not wait in vain to hear nicely arranged and effectively phrased versions of the required stuff like "My Funny Valentine", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Here's That Rainy Day", but the true attraction here is that sets have been known to include or even feature those rarely heard tunes that this singer feels we all need to be reminded to discover and enjoy.
