John Stein Trio

Ed Lucie, bass guitar
Mike Connors, drums

John is pleased to present Mike Connors and Ed Lucie, his partners on last year’s album, “Serendipity.”  Their skill, emotional expressiveness, and fluency as a trio are affecting and memorable.

Simpatico
Maggie Rizzi, bass
Bob Ponte, keyboards
Steve Thomas, guitar

Sympatico is an eclectic and diverse jazz ensemble, all veterans of the Boston jazz scene.

Sympatico, the ensemble, has at its core three people with a vast and varied musical experience, particularly with the many types of jazz that make up this truly American art form.

Bob, Maggie and Steve have been coming together to play, gig and record for over 25 years. This long association produces an intimacy, and deep level of communication that is hard to achieve in a fleeting acquaintance.

Each member of the band brings a unique set of strengths to the whole. Bob Ponte, a New England Conservatory graduate, has been playing, composing, and teaching jazz for many years. Maggie Rizzi, who has a Masters Degree from New England Conservatory, teaches, performs, and records with a variety of jazz musicians in the New England area. Steve Thomas is a prolific composer, guitarist, engineer and producer.

Their music is a mix of traditional influences with a contemporary outlook. The band has been influenced by the music of be-bop, post-bop, latin, jazz funk, Texas swing, blues, and gypsy jazz.

A selection of tunes can be heard under the Sympatico tab of drmaggierizzi.com
