http://www.onclassical.com/artists/fumo/
MARCO FUMO is considered to be one of the best interpreters of Afro-American piano repertoire. After a satisfying initial career in classical music, Marco carefully studied early Ragtime, analyzing the origins of and influences on early Ragtime piano. The result is a repertoire from the Cuban Dances of Saumell, Gottschalk and Cervantes up through Gershwin and Duke Ellington, including composers of Ragtime and Stride Piano such as Joplin, Scott, Lamb, Matthews, Morton, Waller, Johnson, Jackson, Smith, and many others. Marco Fumo has taught piano in many conservatories: latest very important experience was a Biennium of specialization in Afro-American Piano Literature. During the last few years has played with Hugo Aisemberg, Kenny Barron, and Enrico Pieranunzi. Since this year is vice-chairman of SIdMA (Italian Society of Afro-American Music)
