“ENCORE” -CAM JAZZ 2004

Three years after having earned public and critic acclaim for the CamJazz production, FAR OUT, here’s the new album by the Antonio Farao' Trio. Straightaway the interplay, which is an essential ingredient in this Piano Trio, envelopes us and makes each of Farao’s compositions fluid and fascinating. This record takes us on a journey through the chords of Farao’s piano and those of Gjakonovski’s bass, gliding on Terzic’s skins and cymbals. It’s a journey that we can take even by thumbing the pages of the CD’s booklet, which has been enrichened with sheet music for each piece, composed specifically for this recording session.

“NEXT STORIES” ENJA RECORDS 2002

For his third album on ENJA, "Next Stories," two days had been set aside for taping and a third for mixing but Faraò and his cohorts had quickly become a tightly knit unit that effortlessly put down ten tracks in seven hours including a break for lunch. There were a few false starts but otherwise the quartet nailed each tune the first time around and did so with authority. Except for the Cole Porter song and the pianist's tender rendition of John Williams's moving ballad "I Could Have Done More" from his soundtrack for "Schindler's List," all the songs were written by Faraò during the year leading up to the session.

“THORN” ENJA RECORDS 2000

On his new album, "Thorn," Faraò goes one step further presenting a ripened amalgam of deep-felt ballad moods, rhythmic complexities, fiery uptempo improvisation and ethnic and classical elements. His playing is inspired by the help of a hand-picked band including master drummer Jack DeJohnette (Miles, Corea, Hancock, Jarrett, Rollins a.o.), young sax wizard Chris Potter (Jazzpar Award Winner, Mingus Big Band, Dave Holland Quintet) and bass expert Drew Gress (Dave Douglas, Don Byron, Fred Hersch). A band fit to raise a thunderstorm.

“BLACK INSIDE” ENJA RECORDS 1998

Combining a mediterranean sound sensibility with a deep understanding of the black piano tradition, Antonio Faraò has successfully overcome his image as an enfant prodige. Assisted by a world-class rhythm duo, he steps to the top of the international piano scene on his ENJA debut, "Black Inside". Bass player Ira Coleman is among the most respected accompanists who previously recorded with such as Branford Marsalis, Monty Alexander, Tony Williams, Mulgrew Miller, and the late Barney Wilen. Drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts, best known for his work with Wynton and Branford Marsalis, has also recorded as a sideman for Betty Carter, Sonny Rollins, Stephen Scott, Geri Allen, McCoy Tyner and many more. The three of them make up for a trio album of the highest order.
