The jazz event release of 2007! Eagerly anticipated by Rick and Richard’s legion of fans, RNR will thrill and delight one and all. Truly a musical meeting years in the making and well worth the wait. Tunes like the title track “RnR”, the raucous horn charts of “Curve Ball”, and an exotic little burner “The Stranger” flowed from their collective musical wit and wisdom. From “Que Paso’s” catchy handclaps, late night charmer “Two Heart Tango” and funkjam of “Q it Up” – this is simply an album that won’t stop entertaining and amazing (Editorial Reviews).
