Antonio Ciacca Trio Nov 21 - 22

If anybody should be playing at a music venue with genius in its title, it is Antonio Ciacca. Dr. Ciacca earned his master's degree in jazz studies at City College in New York City and his DMA (Doctor of Musica Arts) at Stony Brook University. Dr. Ciacca is currently adjunct professor of Jazz History at Marymount Manhattan College, and Professor of Jazz arranging and Composition at the "G. Nicolini" conservatory in Piacenza, Italy. For four years he was in charge of jazz programming for Jazz at Lincoln Center. 

OK, so he is pretty smart, but can he play the piano? In a word, YES! He started playing the piano at the age 7 and learned from some of the best. He is in high demand as a piano player in both the US and Europe. (He has more frequent flyer miles than anyone.) Some people have even compared his style to Duke Ellington. I find his piano playing smooth, flowing and elegant. Don't miss this chance to hear Antonio in our brand new Jazz club at 151 Essex Street in the lower east side of Manhattan.
