 Oh
hail the patriarch of our household. Why is he
called "Father John"? Well. . . he is the father of
the three children. Yes there is another reason,
but that's not why. It's because he's known as the
Father of the Keyboards in Philadelphia. "Father
John" is a jazz pianist and composer.
He
has recorded two albums under Encounter Audiophile
Records, one LP "Father John" D'Amico Trio,
Live
at the Painted Bride
and a CD
Street
Blues.
He played the
keyboards for singer Ella Csircsu on her CD Rare
Breed, and she recorded two of his compositions
Josephine, and Daniel's Song . Barbara Montgomery
recorded Carino on her album Barbara Montgomery
produced by Michael Sembelo & Barbara
Montgomery. All of "Father John's" albums are
recorded live in concert.
We
will be re-releasing Live at the Painted Bride in
CD form. Also watch for mention of MP3s on Dream
Box Media Web Site.(Formerly Encounter
Records).
His
latest project is a CD of recent concerts recorded
on DAT, in stereo only. Sort of going backwards,
except for the
DAT.
Darius
Walk now
available in stores and on the web. Also a new CD
under Lady Day International Father
John and His
Ladies,
now available in stores and on the web. He appears
on Barbara Montgomery's new album

Land
He

Heritage this Fall Semester. Oh. did I mention his

the Courts in Philadelphia. John is bilingual,
fluent in Spanish not Italian.
