Description
Dominick Farinacci is set to release his Mack Avenue Records debut, Short Stories - a compelling suite of music that spans genres and generations united by the trumpeter/composer's soulful conception.
Although he remains rooted in the worlds of his early idols Louis Armstrong and Clifford Brown, Farinacci has managed to create his own musical universe, aided by musicians of the highest caliber. A short glance at the artists he and producer Tommy LiPuma brought together speaks for itself: Christian McBride, Steve Gadd, Larry Goldings, Jacob Collier, Jamey Haddad and Gil Goldstein, for starters.
Farinacci had already achieved enough stature by his mid-teens that Wynton Marsalis offered to help him set his sights on coming to New York, and by 2001, Farinacci was one of only four trumpeters in the world to be selected as the inaugural students in The Juilliard School's first jazz curriculum. The repertoire is as eclectic as it is stunningly interpreted: Tom Waits' evocative "Soldier's Things," Gotye's recent chart topper "Somebody That I Used to Know" and Cream's classic rock standard "Sunshine of Your Love."
