This special evening will feature legendary pianist Ricardo Scales, who has performed for five United States presidents and countless diplomats, heads of state, and foreign dignitaries. He has shared concert billing with such notables as Debbie Reynolds, the Commodores, Nancy Wilson, Jerry Vale, Nelson Rangell, Jeff Linsky, SpyroGyra, the Temptations, and Kenny Lattimore. He is the preferred pianist of former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who raves that Ricardo's dynamic performance will surely "cement him and his orchestra into classical/smooth jazz history."
Perhaps Ricardo's versatility is connected with his popular success. Able to deliver smooth background jazz for museum openings, party-starting funk for fund-raisers, elegant classical for political forums, or danceable favorites for weddings or night clubs, Ricardo instinctively knows just the note to hit for different audiences. This impressive repertoire, in combination with talent and tenacity, cinches Ricardo as one of today's most exciting performers. Conservatory tranied, Ricardo has mastered practically every genre of music, including classical, jazz, gospel, funk, and R&B. He is a tireless and riveting performer and never lets his audience down.
Joining Ricardo Scales will be a dynamic mother and daughter duo, Deltrina Johnson and AlexisRose, with their powerful voices and contagious energy.
