Reflections
Marco Fumo
Marco Fumo has always aimed to embrace good music of any genre without distinction, interested more in its innate qualities than in categorisation. In this refreshing and original recital, Fumo interprets a kaleidoscopic spectrum of pieces, tracing their intricate, sometimes subtle interconnections through the lens of Afro-American cultural history. We hear works by Scarlatti and Stravinsky, Debussy and Copland, Scott Joplin and Fats Waller, accompanied by thoughtful booklet notes explaining the musical backgrounds to, and links between, these pieces.
Reviews
“Marco Fumo’s Reflections should be part of the heritage of teaching jazz history… he unfolds his musical knowledge in those interests… between the Euro-cultured universe and that of African-American music. He underlines, as few are capable of doing, all the links that certain great composers of the late 19th and 20th centuries have created between two musical hemispheres that are only apparently distant.”
Musica Jazz - Alceste Aylrodi / March 2020
“Marco Fumo takes a journey of over three centuries… the attention of the pianist and the listener focuses specifically on certain particular points, in a sort of “guided suggestion”… the concept of this ambitious project is based on the idea of linking these pieces together… African American musical roots are a common factor throughout this journey…”
