   About Ritt Henn
Ritt Henn plays bass, writes songs and lives in New York City. Think Elvis Costello meets Charles Mingus in an elevator and Randy Newman's there taking notes.



Below, feast your eyes on "TIMBER: the trailer," a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the brand spanking new CD, "TIMBER: the album."



Below, get a gander of a little automotive dilemma, set to the tune "Range Rover (Through the Mud Called Love)," from the album TIMBER.

Hey Ritt,
Liking your description of your style and thinking you pretty much nailed it:  "Think Elvis Costello meets Charles Mingus in an elevator and Randy Newman's there taking notes."

We need to learn something from you and arrive at such an apt description of Bug Toast.

Can definitely see why Stephen included you in the Talk Talk Band.  I was the illustrator for that, and the bouzouki player and one of the back-up singers.
