Sounding The Chord Still Images > U. City Musicians In Action (Black & White) > Ricky Baker (Rico) @ BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups (October 2018)

This is the second time that we met Ricky Baker (UCHS c/o 1975) while he was playing a gig in the St. Louis area with his Chicago based band "RICO". This time, instead of being outside in Heman Park in University City (like he was in 2014), he was playing in downtown St. Louis at the club BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups. His Latin rock/funk band got the crowd up on their feet and dancing on a cool October night. (And, yes, he is using two guitars at once.) The personnel in this configuration of the RICO band was:

Ricky Baker - Guitar & Vocals
Joe Rendon - Congas
Jaime Claudio - Timbales
Ray Roque - Drums
Jesse Tobias - Bass
Jesse Gannon - Keys
Ugochi Nwaogwugwu - Vocals
Juan Miguel - Rapper
