Ricky Ford has been one of the leading tenor saxophonists in jazz since he burst on the scene in the 1970s working with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and Charles Mingus. His annual visits to the Bop Shop have become eagerly anticipated. He will return with his quartet including John Kordalewski on piano, Tony Marino on bass, and Thurman Barker on drums.
