Massimo Faraò Quintet With Jimmy Cobb

Italian pianist Massimo Faraò studied with Maestro Flavio Crivelli and began his career collaborating with musicians from the Genoa area, especially with the bassist Piero Leveratto. He joined the Nat Adderley Quintet on several European tours and has recorded more than 200 albums as a leader and sideman. Now he brings his quintet -- featuring trumpeter Philip Harper, tenor saxophonist Jerry Weldon, bassist Nicola Barbon and drummer Jimmy Cobb -- to the Jazz Forum in Tarrytown.
