Rick Fiori

Journeyman drummer, bandleader, and teacher Rick Fiori has performed with such luminaries as Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon, and John Stubblefield, and studied under Elvin Jones. Born and raised in Trenton, NJ, his hard-swinging sound has carried him from his early days touring behind a comic in an organ trio, to a revival of the Tommy Dorsey band, to long stints in Manhattan, where he has mentored numerous young jazz stars.
