Twenty-four-year-old trumpeter Dominick Farinacci, a recent
graduate of the Institute for Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School,
has already recorded six records for the Japanese label, M & I
Jazz. These recordings garnered Dominick the "International New
Star" Award from Swing Journal Magazine (Japan) in 2003 ...
an honor that has been previously awarded to Christian
McBride and Diana Krall, among others.

Dominick also received Gold Disc Awards (signifying a record of
the month for Swing Journal) for three of those recordings.
Dominick has already toured several times throughout Japan,
and has performed in the USA with such luminaries as Tony
Bennett, Ira Sullivan, Joey DeFrancesco, and Jason Miles.

Dominick performed with Wynton Marsalis (one of his mentors)
and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra as a featured student in a
Louis Armstrong tribute, which was broadcast on PBSs Live From
Lincoln Center. In 2005, Dominick performed with his own groups
at both the Blue Note and Birdland Jazz Club in New York, as well
as at the Tanglewood Jazz Festival in September of that year.
