In 2005 Dado returned to Japan as a member of the ninth edition of the Japanese production dedicated to the most beloved pianists "100 Gold Fingers", together with Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron, Junior Mance, Ray Bryant, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Cyrus Chestnut, Don Friedman, Benny Green and Eric Reed, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Grady Tate. In 2009 he produced a piano solo CD, with the record label Abeat Record, entitled “SoloDado”, an album that led him to win the Top Jazz Award as best pianist of the year. In 2010, two more productions were released: “La vita è bella” - Abeat Records, with Bob Mintzer, Riccardo Fioravanti and Joe La Barbera; “Shapes” - Tcb Records, with Peter Washington and Enzo Zirilli; “Tuscia in jazz- live 1002”- TiJ-live 1002, with Eddie Gomez and Marco Valeri -“Stepping on stars”- Egea UJ, with Joe Locke and Rosario Giuliani. Since December 2010, Dado has held the chair of jazz piano at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Turin; In 2011, he signed an exclusive recording contract with the American label Resonance Records, which will release the album in February 2011. In 1983, at the Sanremo Jazz Festival, where he was playing with Franco Ambrosetti, he met bassist Jimmy Woodie and Harry Sweets Edison, who recommended him to Arnold Burri, owner of the very famous WIDDER BAR in Zurich, one of the most important points of reference for European Jazz, where Dado began working the same year with James Moody's quartet. Dado later joined the Jimmy Woode Trio, with Alvin Queen and Sangoma Everett alternating on drums, a favorite formation of the Widder Bar, which toured throughout Europe accompanying jazz giants such as Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Bud Shank, Buddy De Franco, Zoot Sims and many others. It was Jimmy Woode who introduced Dado to the young and talented saxophonist George Robert, the two began a lifelong friendship and collaboration and in 1987 founded the “George Robert/Tom Harrell Quintet” (with Dado on piano, Reggie Johnson on bass and Bill Goodwin on drums). 1987 was a very important year: Dado's meeting with bass legend Ray Brown produced the formation of the Trio "Two Bass Hits" with one of his most talented protégés, Pierre Boussaguet. In the same year Dado recorded his first New York album with fellow double bass master Ron Carter ("Ron Carter presents Dado Moroni" - with Grady Tate and Gene Bertoncini) for the Emarcy Japan label. He was also invited as a pianist for the Mingus Dynasty summer tour, the Paris Reunion Band and as a judge alongside Sir Roland Hanna, Hank Jones, Barry Harris and Roger Kellaway, for the first Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition, won by pianist Marcus Roberts. In 1989, as a member of the “Alvin Queen Quintet” (Bill Saxton, Nathan Page, Leonard Jones and Adrienne West), Dado participated in a 5-week tour of Africa for the US State Department and in 1991, to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the birth of Switzerland. As a member of the George Robert Quartet (Isla Eckinger on bass and Peter Schmidlin on drums, plus Clark Terry as a special guest), Dado participated in a 5-month world tour performing in the United States, Canada, Hawaii, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, India and the United Arab Emirates. After the world tour, Dado decided to move to the United States in New York, appearing regularly both as a leader and a sideman, at the most prestigious venues: Blue Note, Sweet Basil, Birdland, The Village Vanguard, Visiones, Bradley's.
