Francesco Cafiso Vittoria (Ragusa)
One of the most precocious talents in the history of jazz. When he was
barely nine years old Francesco took his first steps, working with
internationally famous musicians.
Meeting Wynton Marsalis in Pescara at the jazz Festival held on July 2002
was a decisive moment for Francesco’s career. Amazed by Francesco’s
qualities, Marsalis took him along with his septet on his European tour
2003, where Francesco performed in prestigious theatres in the largest cities in Europe.
From that moment on, Francesco went through a series of important
experiences both in Italy and abroad.
He won various important prizes: the Massimo Urbani National Award to
Urbisaglia, the EuroJazz Award to Lecco, the International Jazz Festivals
Organization Award to New York, the World Saxophone Competition to
London, the Django d’Or to Rome and many others.
In order to improve his English, but most of all, in order to experience new
musical styles and genres, Francesco went to New Orleans where he
played with Ellis Marsalis, Jason Marsalis, Thadeus Richard, Bob Franch,
Maurice Brown and many others important local musicians while taking
special lessons from Alvin Batiste.
In 2005 the Swing Journal, the authoritative Japanese jazz music
magazine, confers him the New Stars Award, prize reserved to the
emergent foreign talents. Immediately later, the affirmation in the Top
Jazz, referendum of the Italian Music Jazz magazine, that recognizes him
as the best new talent of the year.
Mulgrew Miller, Ronnie Matthews, Jimmy Cobb, Ben Riley, Ray
Drummond, Reggie Johnson, Doug Sides Lewis Nash, James Williams,
Joe Lovano, George Mraz, Joe Locke, Enrico Rava, Gianni Basso, Dado
Moroni, Franco D’Andrea and many other italian and american musicians.
