Here's a link to a nicely filmed Liza show from last fall in Basel, Switzerland with yours truly on drums.

Also now on the Press page.]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#214 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 - Rick Cutler - Journal http://humanrick.com/news.html#213 In case you're interested, a "better late than never" review just came in for the "First Melancholy..." CD from Jazzweekly.com. I posted it on the Press page.]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#213 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 - Rick Cutler - Journal http://humanrick.com/news.html#212 I had a blast today playing drums with Lee Musiker's jazz trio at Avery Fisher Hall where we augmented the NY Philharmonic Principal Brass Quintet. I was very proud to have my photo & bio in a NY Phil. program (& my own dressing room with my name on the door to make me feel like a big shot). I added some photos on the photo page from the event. Hope we get to do it again!]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#212 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 - Rick Cutler - Journal http://humanrick.com/news.html#211 Lo & behold....I've finally updated the calendar page with a couple of interesting things coming up next month!! I'll be starting December with Paul Metzke's trio at the Port 41 bar in midtown. If you're a fan of amazing, blazing jazz, blues & rock guitar, you must check Paul out. He's really an unsung hero. Then moving over to Lincoln Center for a holiday show with Lee Musiker's trio accompanied by the NY Philharmonic Brass Quintet. Lee is Tony Bennett's musical director & a simply incredible jazz pianist. Keep your fingers crossed that I continue to keep that calendar page current!]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#211 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800 - Rick Cutler - Journal http://humanrick.com/news.html#210 Made it!!! 18 1/2 hours door-to-door from Basel, Switzerland to Toronto by the skin of our teeth! Our flight from Zurich was delayed about an hour to the point of, when we arrived at Newark (having to clear US customs, pick up our bags, return them to a baggage conveyor belt for the Newark-Toronto flight, take a tram to a different terminal & going through security again!) we were running like mad men & just made the flight to Toronto with minutes to spare. So here we are, in a nice hotel in Toronto, pretty fried but alive. Tomorrow, thankfully, is a day off with the show on Fri. & then home on Sat.
The show in Basel went well. It was one of those crowds that are polite & appreciative throughout & then go kinda crazy at the end. It was part of a big yearly festival which, this year, included people like Paul Anka, Lizz Wright, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chic & Steve Earle. A pretty eclectic lineup.
In other news, I have a couple of radio interviews coming up. One this coming Sunday, Oct. 30 at around 12:25PM with Miyuke Williams from WPFW in Wash. DC, & one with Joe Zupan from WICN in Worcester MA that's supposed to air around 2 or 3PM next Monday, Oct. 31. So, if you're around those areas, please listen in. I imagine we'll be talking a bit about the Sanctuaries CD, especially with Joe who I spoke with earlier in the year about First Melancholy when it 1st came out.
And that about wraps it up from the road for now. As always, I'll write with anything new or interesting as it happens so, till then, enjoy your Autumn &, of course, the forthcoming holiday season.]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#210 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 - Rick Cutler - Journal http://humanrick.com/news.html#209 The year's final road trip takes us first to this beautiful little city right on the Rhine with European charm in abundance. Still waiting to taste the food which will be soon.
In typical European tour fashion, we left last night & arrived this morning (Swiss time). Our show is tomorrow & then a quick turn around back across the Atlantic for a show in Toronto on Friday before heading home on Sat....and that will be the last of the road for the year unless something unexpected comes up.
As for interesting things coming up back in NYC: On Dec. 11, I'll be with Lee Musiker's jazz trio at Avery Fisher Hall along with the NY Philharmonic Brass Quintet. I believe we'll be doing Lee's arrangements of some holiday music. Lee's a master (as well as Tony Bennett's musical director!) so it should be a great time.
And there you have it. I'll try to make one final entry this week from Toronto. Till then...]]> http://humanrick.com/news.html#209 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 - Rick Cutler - Journal
