Unique Songs In His Heart

like. “Some of the younger listeners don’t know all of the songs, and even may request a song like ‘Piano Man,’ but I politely tell them ‘No’ because I want them to learn the great history of this music.

And Antonio never stops learning. Born in Germany and raised in Italy, he studied piano as a child, but was most passionate about soccer. However, a serious injury caused him to abandon those dreams and return his attention to music. After earning a degree from the Bologna Conservatory, he decided to move to the States.

“I came to this country in 1983,” he continues, “and moved to Detroit which had a major impact on my approach to music. There I studied with Kenny Barron and got to listen to so many great musicians.”

Another master who had an important influence on Antonio was Barry Harris, also from Detroit. “Additionally, I became a devoted follower of Barry Harris,” he says. “That really got me on the road to jazz and only enhanced my desire to learn all about this great music.”

Antonio began his career as a sideman, working with leading players such as Steve Grossman, Art Farmer, James Moody and Steve Lacy among others.

Moving to New York in the 90s, he befriended the great pianist Jaki Byard and studied with him. In fact, Antonio’s 1999 release, Hollis Avenue (YVP Music), pays homage to the legendary pianist who was murdered at the age of 76. Byard was known for an eclectic style, drawing on everything from stride to free jazz, an approach that heavily affected Antonio.

He teaches jazz history at Marymount Manhattan College where he constantly refers to great players from the past who are no longer well-known to younger artists. Names like Barney Bigard and Cootie Williams are dropped into his conversation as he speaks reverentially about music and jazz.

Of course, it is also no surprise to learn that Antonio wrote his doctoral dissertation on Duke Ellington. He has just earned a PhD/DMA from Stony Brook University, an accomplishment completed in 2022.

WHENANTONIO CIACCA STARTS to play the piano at The Pierre Hotel, he draws on an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of jazz, and listeners are enthralled because he is so engaging as he plays songs they know.

“At The Pierre, I play the Great American Songbook,” explains Antonio, “including Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and even Burt Bacharach. Most of the people who come to the hotel know the songs and even the lyrics.”

Another highlight in 2022 came from the family of Bud Powell who called on Antonio for help.

“I was just appointed Artistic Director for the Bud Powell Centenary,” Antonio explains. “The celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth will be in 2024, and we are going to produce a documentary that focuses on his music. I also plan to produce, with some Powell scholars, the definitive transcriptions of his work.”

Antonio is always very busy. In addition to Marymount, he also teaches jazz compo-
