Jimmy Farace is a dedicated baritone saxophonist whose rich, resonant tone brings the beauty of the instrument to the forefront. A thoughtful composer and improviser, Farace creates music that is deeply human, exploring experiences everyone can relate to - growing pains, nostalgia, joy, and the small moments that shape our lives. With an unwavering belief in the instrument’s ability to tell profound musical stories, Farace has earned praise from some of jazz’s finest voices. DownBeat Magazine hailed him as “an outstanding new voice on baritone saxophone.” Saxophone legend Gary Smulyan observed: “His baritone playing is deeply emotional, mature, and his sound simply gorgeous. The combination of the writing and playing is stunning, wonderfully conceived, and in perfect balance and harmony.”
