Jason Ricci: Jazz Musician in New York

About Jason Ricci

Jason Ricci is a harmonica player whose work sits between modern blues, blues-rock, and jazz-informed improvisation. He leads Jason Ricci & The Bad Kind, a tight unit built around fast unison lines and open-ended solos. Ricci was named Best Harmonica Player at the 2010 Blues Music Awards and has appeared as a guest on recordings by Johnny Winter and Terence Blanchard. In New York City, he brings this harmonica-led approach to stages like Terra Blues, where the playing favors velocity and precision over spectacle.
