Ricky Ford

Ricky Ford belongs to a lineage I deeply respect: the Boston-bred jazz craftsman who lets the horn do the talking. Born in 1954, he is both a tenor saxophonist and a composer, which to me signals an artist with his own sound rather than a sideman chasing fashion. He also has an official website. Ford is not a headline-chaser; he is a builder of bodies of work. That patient, unglamorous dedication is exactly the kind of artistry I treasure most.
