Clevelander and world-class jazz trumpeter Dominick Farinacci was 'discovered' by Wynton Marsalis at 15 and went on to be one of only 18 musicians selected worldwide for the inaugural class of the Juillliard Jazz Program. He is heralded for lyrical, beautiful, song-like improvisations and a warm, rich sound.
Immediately following graduation from high school in Columbus, Ohio, Aaron Diehl toured with the Wynton Marsalis Septet. Also a Juilliard graduate like Farinacci, Diehl has performed with Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Boston Symphony Orchestra and on Marian McPartland's NPR show, 'Piano Jazz.' His distinctive interpretations of the music of Scott Joplin, 'Jelly Roll' Morton, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, and other masters pays homage to the tradition while establishing his own original voice.
