O’s Notes: Tom Ricci is an Argentine crooner, guitarist, songwriter, and arranger, now based in Southern California. He returned to his birth city to record Happening in Buenos Aires Live at Borges 1975 with a prearranged trio, arranger Pablo Sanguinetti (p), Bruno Migotto (b), and Oscar Giunta (d). They did not rehearse prior to the performance on June 20, 2023. The spontaneity makes this happening a special, one-time event. “Naranjo en Flor”, a tango with Spanish lyrics, “Mood Indigo”, the Brazilian twist of “Quiet Nights”, and a unique arrangement of “Besame Mucho” are some of the bests of the dozen selections.
