Ralph Pritikin is a guitarist and composer whose music blurs the lines between Brazilian rhythm, jazz , and soulful blues. Raised in California and now rooted in Brazil, Pritikin’s sound reflects decades of improvisation, exploration, and deep collaboration. His expressive touch on the guitar has taken him from smoky jazz clubs to major stages, performing alongside legends like Joe Cocker, Joe Williams , Albert Collins , and Richie Cole. His latest album, Some Things You’ll Find, is a globe-spanning, all-original recording that weaves together Brazilian lyricism and cinematic jazz phrasing. Co-created with an all-star ensemble including Rolling Stone’s top 100 guitarist Grammy winning Toninho Horta and Grammy-nominated pianist Randy Porter, the record was tracked in New York and Belo Horizonte , Brazil — the perfect backdrop for its sultry, nuanced  sound. An artist at heart, Pritikin composes and plays with both nuance and boldness — always searching, always grounded.
