Career edit

After serving in the Air Force from 1951–55, where he played in service bands, Vicari returned to New York City and played in bands until he joined Maynard Ferguson's big band in 1960.[1]

When the Ferguson band broke up in 1965, Vicari briefly joined Buddy Rich, then Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd[1] and remained until 1970. Vicari worked with Steve Gadd, Mike Mainieri, Randy and Michael Brecker, Dave Matthews, the White Elephant Orchestra, George Benson, Tony Bennett, Dionne Warwick, Billy Eckstein, Tom Waits, John Lennon, Woody Herman, and the Saturday Night Live Band.[2]

He died in New York City at the age of 75.
