"Felt Sessions #1" marks the beginning of a series that blends the nostalgic sound of a jazz trio with the warm, felt tones of a modern upright piano. Rick’s soulful, melodic playing and delicate touch merge effortlessly with contemporary grooves, while Paul Thompson's grounding upright bass and David Jamison's light brushwork create a balanced and cohesive sound. Drawing from jazz and other modern influences, Rick presents a relaxed and intimate collection of original compositions, along with newly reimagined versions of "Message in a Bottle" by The Police and the timeless Irish classic "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." "Felt Sessions #1" offers a peaceful yet sophisticated musical journey, combining rich jazz traditions with laid-back grooves for a unique experience that listeners will enjoy.
Upright Sketches is a series of short solo piano felt compositions (sketches), each accompanied by sketch by artist and designer Mike Meutslee. In this series, Rick combines his soulful jazz roots and soft touch with the simple beauty of modern neoclassical music recorded on a warm felt piano.
