He plays with fire, sometimes smoldering, sometimes raging. He has the subtle sophistication of a premier jazz guitarist, but he plays with the energy of a rocker, the groove of a funkaholic, and the lyricism of a seasoned pro. Watching Vandivier perform, one sees a man that lives to make music, and has spent a lifetime embracing his mission of making life better by sharing music. He is a true sonic expressionist. “His trio is called Vandivier, and he's the guitarist Rick Vandivier, who's the living soul legend and feels more in the heart and fingers than dozens of other string VIPs together.” - Alexander Schmitz, Jazz Podium. Rick Vandivier has been performing and recording in the San Francisco Bay Area for forty-plus years. He is composer and leader of his own dynamic group, Vandivier, a contemporary eclectic trio. Vandivier’s third album release Under One Roof went public in October 2017 and received robust national airplay over a twelve week period, and was tracked on the top one hundred by JazzWeek. Andrew Gilbert wrote for the San Jose Mercury, “Vandivier has never sounded better than on his new album Under One Roof.” Rick’s previous recordings are Vandivier and Spirit of the Room. In addition, Rick is co-leader of Primary Colors, along with vocalist extraordinaire Nate Pruitt. The group specializes in jazz and grooves with adventuresome interplay.
