Hybrid Jazz From Trish Hennessey - with Rick Braun!

Master Publicist Rick Scott has been working tirelessly to make sure that this came together - and he needs to get special recognition!  Rick works HARD for his clients - and Rick Braun is one.  The Ricks are awesome :)

The one that we'll have on the show TOMORROW, December 8th, has been a previous guest on "Hybrid Jazz."  Why this time, you ask?  Glad you ARE!  Rick has a string of dates with his good friend, Peter White - whose Christmas tour is always hugely successful.  We're speaking to Rick on Monday so that we can get a few events as much mileage as possible.  He and Peter and Mindi Abair will be in Virginia on 12/8 - then at Ram's Head in Annapolis on Wednesday, the 10th.  Several dates in Florida follow.  And there is something else that's important to discuss - that's near and dear to Rick's heart.  That is his BIG event in Tucson, Arizona on New Year's Eve.

There's even a website for us to ponder: www.rickbraunsnewyearseve.com  Here's why it's so important to Rick - besides having Peter White join him - as well as long-time friend and collaborator, Richard Elliot - this whole endeavor brings focus to The Autism Society.  You'll see that once you peruse the website.  Emma Braun is Rick's teenage daughter.  She is, like your host's son, under the autism spectrum.  That's why it was a priority for us to have this special day and time for Rick to stop by and say hello.  Our kids are everything to us - and awareness of their needs and the needs of other children are "Front Burner" subjects.  

Here's another reason why I appreciate Rick Braun so deeply.  One of his main inspirations in his most excellent musical journey has been Freddie Hubbard.  Rick appreciates the masters and it shows!  Welcome a beloved artist when he returns on 12/8!
