Antonio Ciacca Quartet

"Ciacca plays with a rare blend of earthiness, fire and intellect, with elements of Thelonious Monk, Wynton Kelly, Red Garland and Bobby Timmons that recall the most creatively vital and yet oddly neglected schools of jazz. Nowadays "Director of Programming for Jazz" at the Lincoln Center, Ciacca continues serving Jazz music as a player whose sound is unique, especially in the context of our time. The story of jazz, embedded in American soul and having blossomed in the imagination of a young pianist from Italy, is here for all to hear.
