Pianist/composer Antonio Ciacca carries the torch of the great tradition of Italian American in jazz. From the first jazz record ever made in New Orleans in 1917 by Nick LaRocca and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, Italian Americans have always been at the centre of the action. The Quintet will explore the music of Harry Warren (Salvatore Guaragna), Henry Mancini, Frankie Laine and original music written by the leader for Italian jazz masters such as “Scotty” for Scott LaFaro and “Joe Avenue” for Joe Lovano. With Paul Gill bass, Peter Van Nostrand trumpet, Ben Benack vocals and Cory Weeds tenor sax.
