Rick experimenting with some electronic producing. Much more to come!

Thank you for your support.

Rick Zelinsky plays five saxophones (mostly Yamaha): sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones. Melissa Fischer on vocals and piano; Dirk Westfall on bass; Brandon Cockburn on drum set. Rick arranged many of these in a fun, creative new presentation.

Rick plays bass clarinet, saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone); Nick Petumenos on guitars; Dirk Westfall on basses; & Brandon Cockburn on drums & cymbals; with guests Pat Owens on trumpet & Susan Brakeall on vocals. Many of these tunes are Rick's original compositions.

Rick's first CD has a plethora of talent: Rick Zelinsky on soprano, tenor & baritone saxophones. Yngvil Vatn Guttu, trumpet Dan McElrath, piano Nick Petumenos, guitar Errol Bressler, bass Cameron Cartland, drums on tracks 1-4 Mike Van Arsdale, alto saxophone Anthony Reed, trombone Brandon Cockburn, drums (track 5)

These are the tunes that we are working on in our Jazz Improvisation class. Practice with these tracks and then improvise over them and use your knowledge of the melody, chord tones, and scales to sound good. Always play with your best, full sound!
