Farinacci
 28-year-old
NYC-based jazz trumpeter Dominick Farinacci,
recipient of the International New Star Award
(along with Diana Krall & Christian
McBride), the Disney New Star Award, and first
place honors in the Carmine Caruso International
Trumpet Competition, is touring in support of
his 2nd U.S. release, Dawn of Goodbye (Eone
Music), following 7 critically acclaimed CD’s as
a leader in Japan.
Quincy Jones said “this kid is 360 degrees”
after Dominick performed for him in Bel Air, and
upon releasing his first U.S. CD (Lovers, Tales
& Dances) he was invited to perform at the
02 in London opening for British stars Jamie
Cullum and Jeff Beck. In response to
selections recorded with strings on his last
release, he appeared at Severance Hall with the
Cleveland Orchestra for their 2010 Gala.
When he was just 17, Wynton Marsalis asked
Dominick to perform with him on a PBS Special at
Lincoln Center, and shortly after, he was
selected as one of 18 musicians worldwide to be
part of the inaugural class of the Jazz Studies
Program at The Juilliard School.
While gaining recognition from luminaries
spanning such a wide and diverse musical genre,
Dominick has been newly appointed as the
2011-2012 Artist in Residence at the Creative
Center for the Arts in Cleveland, a new
state-of-the-art educational facility that
houses the Tri-C Jazz Studies Program and the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Archives. Here
he will continue to develop and implement his
new educational outreach program around the
region and further establish partnerships with
prestigious national organizations.
Dominick has headlined at many major festivals
and clubs both nationally and internationally
including Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Birdland,
Yoshi’s, Scullers, the Monterey Jazz Festival,
the Detroit International Jazz Festival, the
Tri-C JazzFest and both the Toronto and Montreal
Jazz Festivals in Canada. He has toured
Japan regularly since 2003, and has performed in
Korea, Switzerland, Italy and the United
Kingdom.
He has performed and/or recorded with the likes
of Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Barron, Mulgrew
Miller, Lewis Nash, Ron Carter, Joe Lovano,
Jimmy Heath and Benny Golson.
