  • Bio

    I play guitar. Me and about eight million other people. Big deal. I used to be in a semi-famous band, and have played with a lot of people you have probably heard of. So what. Now a high school art teacher, I record stuff at home, and still play out once in a while. Take a listen-- I hope you like what you hear.

  • Members

    Rick Jacobi: guitars, bass, keyboards, drum sequencing, vocals, recording. Guitars only on "Bounce"-- the rest by Dan McCarthy.

  • Influences

    In somewhat chronological order, starting in the mid-late 60s into the 70s: Eric Clapton (w/ Cream and John Mayall), Jimi Hendrix, Michael Bloomfied, Butterfield Blues Band, Leslie West (w/ Mountain), Jeff Beck, The Three Kings (Albert, B.B. and Freddie), Johnny Winter, Santana, James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Parliament, Harvey Mandel, Allman Brothers, John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Perry Robinson, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones... Not much in the 80s but I did really like Prince, The Time, Selecter, The Specials, XTC... On into the 90s... The Paladins, Duke Robillard, Charlie Baty (w/ Little Charlie & the Nightcats), Ronnie Earl, and, the great Muddy Waters (strange that it took until the 90s for me to really get into him!). Lately, I am listening to a good amount of trip-hop (Portishead, Morcheeba, etc.) and lots of ambient music like Mystical Sun, Kit Watkins, Saul Stokes, etc. Most recently, Lewis Taylor.

    I know, right? That would be pretty cool. Maybe we could find a drummer who spells his last name Jacobee. Then we could be "The Rick Jacobi Project featuring Rick Jacoby and Rick Jacobee." I think you might be on to something. : ) I just had a conversation over the phone with a friend of a friend who thought that I was you. He asked me if I played in Sky King in the 70's. I told him I was born in '75. I'm good, but not that good. : ) He went on and on about how great you are though. Nothing wrong with being mistaken for greatness. I appreciate you wearing the name well!

    Awww, hair is overrated anyway. It never grows where you want it to, when you want it to. I was just thinking that you look like a great player!

    hi rick
    hope you can spent a little time again ;-)

    open contest!
    i want to start a contest. starting today may 11. 2009 (11.05.2009) ending may 11. 2010 (11.05.2010) the contest is named "which world do you want to live in?" it can be interpreted as an individual statement/suggestion/hope/scifi/ view on the now or future world. it can be include posi- or negativ visions, sights, perceptions & last but not least xtra sensoric perceptions.
    plan is to release a physical cd as an artwork. - a "complete artwork" - what means a holistic "thing".
    it also means a small release underwritten by all artists as a collectors item between 50 & 2 or 500. (that depends on how mutch money i will have that future day to produce it! ;-)
    it would be fantastic to do a lot of collaboration work on solo ideas/trax/works but it is also possible to bring in an individual statement or track which is already ready. (instrumental/with vocal/radio play & so on)
    the cd´s i make are containing 80 min. and all participating artist are decide the trax and list order they shall/will put in/on.
    i also suggest to do the mastering – for to get so close to a „commercial“ product as possible.
    BUT this is only a suggestion! & no condition. (if an artist means it is essential to take his mix & the democratic way says also yes - we do so!)
    Make an account and login he(a)re on earritation.net AND make an account on http://www.itbreaks.com join the group The Travel(l)ing Town Musicians for information & discussion
    lets star(t)!
