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. Nate Chinen says of Farinacci, " . . . he has the prepossessing charm and lyrical instinct of a jazz-pop star, one in particular: he can call to mind a younger, swarthier Chris Botti. Mr. Farinacci plays beautifully, with expressive control, throughout a program of love-haunted standards and compatible originals, including his yearning title track. His phrasing attests to some close study of Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, but avoids outright imitation.
