The best music is the kind you can hear and feel. On his newly released album, Happening in Buenos Aires, Tom Ricci makes it clear that he is sharing some of the best music ever. Need proof? Play track nine—”What A Wonderful World.” Ricci’s attention to detail makes the familiar tune a voyage of rediscovery. It’s merely one example of Ricci’s gift for reinvention.

On Happening in Buenos Aires, singer-guitarist Tom Ricci showcases an eclectic repertoire spanning jazz standards, bossa nova, Argentine tango, an original song, and a fresh take on a Radiohead favorite. The album was recorded live in Buenos Aires at Borges 1975 (in 2023), with Tom Ricci on vocals and guitar, Pablo Sanguinetti on piano, Bruno Migotto on bass, and Oscar Giunta on drums.

Thank you for the music, Mr. Ricci, and for proof that sublime experiences, once captured, can be eternal.
