Frank Ferrucci Composer and Recording Artist Composer, keyboardist and co-founder of the world music group Criara, Frank Ferrucci has been an active performer and film composer for 25 years. During the early seventies, while studying piano and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston, he began writing for film, dance and music groups. When he moved to New York City in 1975, Frank's music became influenced by the strong presence of Latin American, Brazilian, Jazz and Caribbean music and culture in New York City's music scene and, as a result, in 1976 he formed a quintet to perform his music which was described in CODA magazine as "...combining Latin, Jazz and Folk elements into a rhythmically infectious sound". In 1978, Frank joined the group of saxophonist Gato Barbieri , with whom he gained international recognition as a pianist, and with whom he performed and recorded regularly through 1986. In 1982, his debut album, Jewel Eyes was released to critical acclaim on Wren Records. His annual "Music of the Americas999" concerts, presented by the Bottom Line and Sounds of Brazil in New York were described in the New York Times as "fusing the advanced harmonies of 1960's jazz with an array of tropical rhythms, invoking by turns, Salsa, Folk, and Brazilian music." |
