Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Argentine-born Vocalist, Guitarist, Songwriter & Arranger Tom Ricci. Tom joins us to talk about his brand-new 2026 album, Happening in Buenos Aires, his career in jazz, and the international musical journey that has shaped his sound. Born in Buenos Aires and of Italian descent, Tom now calls Southern California home, bringing a unique perspective to music that crosses borders and genres.
His music moves naturally through jazz, bossa nova, Latin American song, blues, singer-songwriter traditions, and the emotional directness of rock. In this conversation, we get into the whole ride — from his roots in Argentina to his life as a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, arranger and jazz artist.
Dig into Tom Ricci’s story, his new music, his Buenos Aires connection and the many influences that continue to shape his artistic voice.
