"At the heart of any true jazzman is the ability to tell his own musical stories in his own way, and hopefully touch a few hearts along the way. Down in his heart, there's a song he can feel, something that no one can steal. It's his own tune, all and in part. Pianist Antonio Ciacca dances to the unique songs in his heart." " - Todd Barkan, Record Producer
Antonio Ciacca
(pianist/composer/bandleader/educator) was born in Germany, raised in Italy and educated in the United States. A graduate of the Bologna Conservatory, Ciacca has collaborated with jazz greats Benny Golson, Steve Lacy, and Wess Anderson, among many others. From 2007-2011, Ciacca served as Director of Programming at Jazz at Lincoln Center and was also a professor at Juilliard. He has seven CDs to his name, and performs regularly in the major jazz clubs in Europe and the United States. Ciacca's career spans the globe with international tours and as a tireless jazz advocate and educator.
