About Rick Stephenson

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I subbed in as a trombone player for Natalie Cole, at the Royal York in Toronto around the age of 19. And, my career path for determined! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Buddy Rich Big Band, Mercy, Mercy (Live) Clifford Brown, Clifford Brown With Strings Maynard Ferguson, New Vintage I love the power, passion, horns & arrangements in these albums and these artists. Rob McConnell is another favourite of mine as he too played with so much energy and passion. I had the pleasure of taking a trombone lesson from him long ago. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
