Rick appearances and news...

It's hard to keep this page current.  Over the last year I've played at Typhoon, Catalina's Jazz Club, and dozens of L.A. venues as well as several in the Bay Area and San Diego.  My seven-piece Rockin' Rick Show made its debut to a full house at Regular Joe's in Burbank and we'll be back early in 2012. Look for me with the bands of Steve Carr, Pat Longo, Phil Jeffry and more around town.

Here's some news: My podcast, the afterbeat, is available on iTunes and at www.afterbeatpod.com, featuring conversations with jazz and roots musicians of note.  Check it out.

Sunday, January 29 2012 - Joe's in Burbank w/Denis La Pron's Blues Express.  8.30P-11.30P, with Larry "Big House" David. Be there!!

Thanks to everyone who joined Larry David 
and I at Lucille's. We appreciate the support, and we hope you're enjoying the CD.
What - you didn't buy a CD?  That's f'd up, dude.  
Email me or Larry and we'll get one right out to you. 
It'll be the best $15 you ever spent.

Look for me at Lucille's again soon.

Note: 
I've kinda lost track of this page in the last year.  The good news is that I've been busy with playing and writing work on the film/TV front, so it's been hard to update this itinerary page and keep it current.  Suffice to say that I've been in the clubs, etc., as usual, including the following venues and artists:
  • Joe's in Burbank
  • Catalina Bar and Grill
  • The Smokehouse in Burbank
  • Warner Center's concert series in Woodland Hills
  • Lucille's Blues and Bar B Cue
  • The Ronald Reagan Library
  • Bobby Haynes
  • Larry "Big House" David
  • Pat Longo's Hollywood Big Band
  • The Monktet
  • Steve Carr
  • Phil Jeffrey...
...and many more.  I'll try to resume soon.  (I did...see above notes) Thanks for your patience. Meanwhile, watch your email and my Twitter feed (@rickfle) for updates.

Tuesday, May 5th 2009 - Cinco de Mayo at Catalina Bar and Grill!
I'll be playing with Pat Longo's "Hollywood Big Band" at Catalina's in Hollywood.  One set, at 8PM for a low $12 cover.  Great food and sound at Catalina's, and some of the best players in LA in Pat's band,
along with swingin' Sinatra-styled vocals from Mark Copland. 
Catalina's:
6725 Sunset Blvd (@Sunset Blvd.)
Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 466-2210


_________________________________________________________
Well, good things come to an end, and this sweet gig ended in late 2008.
I'm appearing many Wednesday evenings with bassist-vocalist 
Bobby Haynes at Beverly Hills' Luxe Hotel's 'Cafe Rodeo'. 
It's called "Jazz After Work," but we play a lot of blues also, 
and even some rock and country.
Great drinks and very serious food (try the pork belly tacos or the banana wrapped-salmon) at moderate prices from chef Matthew.  
Otto, BH's best bartender, is mixing and greeting; great service from Irina and Stacy; validated parking and free Wi-Fi!  What more do you need?
360 N. Rodeo (Brighton Way/Dayton Way); 310 273.0300.
Valet parking and restaurant entry off the alley east of Rodeo.
Music from 6P-9P.
Full disclosure: 
It's always best to call or email me to make sure I'm playing on a given night; sometimes other gigs beckon, but I'm there on most Wednesdays.  
See you at the Luxe.
