here’s one of two shows that took my fancy this past week.  first, an audio demux of a video from the 2016 montreux jazz festival. antonio faraò is one of my favorite pianists, and guitar-and-piano is such a nice combination.  so despite being “just” m4a 128/44, i thought i’d share this.  no sample as it’s not tracked.

here’s another:  french violinist didier lockwood playing with one of my favorite pianists, antonio faraò (no, not french).  curiously, as i was putting this together here, separate shows by lockwood and faraò were shared on dime.  there’s another faraò show here on cipjazz, btw.

for some reason, antonio faraò is one of my favorite pianists, and though this great performance with hadrien feraud wasn’t what got me hooked, it easily could have been.  at one point, i thought (pace salieri) that there were just too many notes for him to be playing them all (it’s not just the number of notes, mind you).  and feraud’s no slouch either (speaking of which, listen for the faint voice around 11 mins into track 5…  🙂 ).  anyway, ‘jswetch’ shared this on dime in mid-2013.

seeder’s comments
terrific intro for me to the great pianist, antonio farao. a fine recording from a warm parisian summer night. went to this show to see feraud, who i knew from associations with john mclaughlin. farao and feraud are both masters of their instruments and most of the solos here are from them. pointeaux struck me as a serviceable drummer. overall feel of this is quite good. very high-level improvs and sensitivity throughout.
a 2nd encore was played of giant steps, but my batteries died just as the song started.
please help with any of the song titles, and be sure to support these artists by purchasing their commercially available releases.
