I'm still wondering why he has no pictures of himself on his website nor a way to purchase his CD from same. Seems like with no pix and no tangible product, the wannabe shoe might be on the other foot...

HOWEVER....

Having listened to his downloads, I can honestly say that he seems to be playing honestly, like he really WANTS to play this stuff and is enjoying doing it. Good!

HOWEVER....

His phrasing is totally devoid of nuance and subtlety. You want to use David Sanborn as a musical role model, fine. But David Sanborn is a MOTHERFUCKER - a total MASTER of phrasing, tonal variation and vocalization, and melodic phraseology. There's DEPTH in what he plays (although some of the "jazz purists" can't/won't hear it).

Same goes for the material and the production - no subtlety, no nuance, no depth. Entirely superficial (as in all surface, not as in lack of sincerity). Everything is "right", sure. But you can say the same thing about a dial tone.

So far, he sounds like a cat who's got the tools. What he doesn't sound like is somebody who's got the skills. Yet. He should stop telling everybody how great he is now, and then start telling himself how great he not yet is. In every idiom, there are true masters, and if you ain't at their level, all boasts are empty.

For evey Jaco Pastorius, there's a gazillion Brian Bosworths..

Exactly.

Dude has site links for Koz, Sanborn, and G, WTF?

Try promoting and developing yourself, sport.

At just 25 years old, Rick has exploded with his first solo album.

they didn't sell, so he ate them all. Stuffed 'em in even after he was more than fed up. Kaboom!

Here's a photo of Rick just prior to his explosion...
