RICKY G (of KARL DENSON's TINY UNIVERSE) PRESENTS:

Over the last couple of years, RICKY G'S trips to New Orleans during Jazzfest have had a profound impact upon his life. Moved by the spirit of a city that lives and breaths live music, whose musicians approach their craft with such reverence, respect, and passion that yields an authenticity and magical energy unlike anywhere else. RICKY G'S experiences in New Orleans lead to his return to California with a burning desire to share a piece of that energy and authenticity with the music community here in Cali, and that was the catalyst for Ricky G Presents. A dream to honor the legends of Funk music with all star musicians playing the best damn Funky music in the world - New Orleans Funk Music!
