Antonio Ciacca Quintet, Lagos Blues

Motéma Music Set to Release Lagos Blues on January 12

“At the heart of any true jazzman is the ability to tell his own musical stories in his own way, and hopefully touch a few hearts along the way. Down in his heart, there’s a song he can feel, something that no one can steal. It’s his own tune, all and in part. Pianist Antonio Ciacca dances to the unique songs in his heart.” – Todd Barkan, Jazz at Lincoln Center

More than an exceptional album, Antonio Ciacca’s Lagos Blues (Available January 12) is a mirror that reflects the broader story of jazz, its international reach as well as its inclination to come back and nourish at its American wellspring.
