FEATURING:
RICK MARGITZA (USA) - tenor saxophone
BIO
Born into a musical family on October 24, 1961 in Detroit Michigan, Rick Margitza
started playing music at an early age. His paternal grandfather was a Hungarian Gypsy
violinist who started Margitza’s musical education by teaching him to play the violin at
the age of four. Margitza’s father, a violist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
continued his musical education by enrolling him in the piano studio of the famed piano
teacher Mischa Kotler. Shortly after, Margitza heard a recording by Charlie Parker. His
maternal grandfather, a jazz bassist with the Glen Miller band, also played cello on the
famed Charlie Parker with strings recording. After hearing Parker on this recording,
Margitza switched to the saxophone.
Since then he has studied classical saxophone with Donald Sinta at the university of
Michigan, and jazz with Sonny Stitt, Gerry Niewood, Michael Brecker, and David
Liebman. He studied at Wayne State University in Detroit, the Berklee School of Music
in Boston, the University of Miami, and graduated with a bachelors of music from the
Loyola University in New Orleans.
After living in New Orleans, Margitza moved to New York in 1989. He has performed
and/or recorded with McCoy Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson, Tony Williams, Eddie Gomez,
Chick Corea, Dave Douglas and Miles Davis. He has led his own band and performed in
clubs, concert halls and festivals around the world. His 10 albums as a leader document
the evolution of his playing as well as his growth as a composer. Margitza has also
composed music for orchestra including two symphonies and a saxophone concerto.
He currently lives in Paris and his most recent recording Bohemia, on the French label
Nocurne, is his most personal to date. Recorded after moving to Paris in 2003, this
project is completely different in style and content from any of his other recordings. The
instrumentation ranges from violins, tablas and sitars, to harmonicas, voices and ethnic
guitars. Margitza explores his Gypsy roots by tracing the origin of the Romany people
from India across Eastern Europe. The music is programmatic in nature with each
instrument and theme being a character in the story.
