Marco Fumo is a pianist and music historian who keeps the golden age of ragtime and early jazz alive with scholarly passion and sparkling keyboard skills. Known for breathing new life into classic works, he’s become a go-to interpreter for composers like Scott Joplin, Bix Beiderbecke, and James Scott, as heard on albums like *Elite Syncopations* and *The Early Ragtime*. His recordings often bridge genres, effortlessly connecting Harlem stride piano, jazz-age rhapsodies, and even cinematic flair, as showcased in his heartfelt tribute *Il Mio Morricone*.
Fumo’s deep respect for American roots music shines through projects like *From Cuba to Harlem*, which traces jazz’s multicultural DNA, and his lively takes on Gershwin and Ellington. Whether reviving forgotten ragtime gems or honoring iconic 20th-century composers, his work feels like a cozy conversation with music history—one syncopated note at a time.
