Ricardo Scales
A man with the talent and vivacity of Ricardo Scales was born to be noticed. Able to deliver smooth background jazz for museum openings, party-starting funk for fund-raisers, elegant classical for political forums, or danceable favorites for weddings and wine festivals, Ricardo knows just the note to hit for different audiences. Ricardo has played for five United States presidents, including Bill Clinton, and countless diplomats, heads of state, and foreign dignitaries. He has shared concert bills with such notables as Debbie Reynolds, the Commodores, Nancy Wilson, Jerry Vale, Nelson Rangell, Jeff Linsky, and Kenny Lattimore. He is the preferred pianist of San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who raves that Ricardo's dynamic performances will surely "cement him and his orchestra into classical/smooth jazz history."

Benny Velarde y Super Combo
Nobody has done more to cultivate appreciation for salsa and Latin jazz music in the Bay Area than percussionist-bandleader Bayardo "Benny" Velarde. Since arriving in San Francisco in 1945 from Panama, he has helped Afro-Latin dance music evolve by making his bands the training ground for generations of the region's brightest musical talents. Now members of his Super Combo, many of whom have played with him for over 20 years, are honoring him with a tribute album called Viva Velarde.
