Rick Margitza's captivating tenor saxophone sound is beautifully captured here on this straight-ahead acoustic jazz album release entitled "Storyteller" (Lukas Oravec label), consisting of seven fresh original compositions and a couple of lovely standard re-harmonizations. Miles Davis had a great taste in choosing his sidemen wisely and Rick delivers in spades… Mike McGuirk on bass and Andrew Swift on drums.

"Respectfully Yours" featuring mainly original arrangements of my favorites jazz composers and one original song entitled Czechmate, which resembles a harmonic exercise/etude. I had the pleasure of recording at the comfort of my home studio, tuned the piano for each session and took one month to put together over 2.5 hours of solo jazz piano tracks. From that I selected roughly 55min for your enjoyment.

"Smile Baby Smile" with guitarist Paul Bollenback, bassist Zack Page, drummer Evan Martin, and percussionist Byron Hedgepeth has been released on AUGUST 04, 2016 in REDUTA Jazz CLUB, Prague, Czech Republic. This was my forth release on New Port Line and one which features mostly happy music with a beautiful blend of my Fender Rhodes and Paul's guitar.

"Alternate Reality" with tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin, bassist Mike Holstein, and drummer Marian Sevcik was my third release on New Port Line label and featured an oustanding band, which had some sound challenges to deal with due to multi-track HD video setup used for promotion. One of the most difficult mixing jobs I've ever encountered. Ultimately though, making music with these musicians was a lot of fun.

"Czechmate" features Brooklyn based master tenor and soprano saxophonist Joel Frahm, acoustic bassist Steve Haines, and drummer Bill Campbell. This album features mostly my original compositions with one song of the guest saxophonist Joel Frahm. His lyrical, yet precise and controlled soprano sound is very well captured here. You will also hear some lovely rhythm section playing from Steve and Bill as they lock in their timing senses beautifully.

"Live At The Grey Eagle: Jubilee Suite" with a legendary drummer John Riley and NYC based bassist Mike McGuirk was already recorded in 2006 during a short tour of Western NC. Using just one stereo vintage tube Neumann microphone, model SM2c, this recording captures the very raw sound of the trio during a live 60min performance. No second takes, no repairs, just pure music performance in front of a live audience the old fashioned way.
