Antonio Fusco Trio

Antonio Fusco Trio

Antonio Fusco -Drums

Ferdinando Romano - Double Bass

The Antonio Fusco Trio is a project rooted in a deep exploration of sound, where composition and improvisation merge into a constantly evolving musical language.

Formed around a strong collective identity, the trio moves between contemporary jazz and avant-garde, developing a sound that balances melodic clarity with open forms and textural research.

Since the release of SETE, the group has established itself through an intense live activity, performing in international contexts and major festivals, while refining a musical interplay based on listening, interaction and shared direction.

With DEBRIS, the trio expands its sonic palette, introducing new elements and approaches that reflect a more fragmented and layered musical vision—where each piece becomes part of a broader narrative.

Today, the Antonio Fusco Trio represents an ongoing artistic journey, in which tradition and experimentation coexist, and where each project marks a step forward in the search for a personal and recognizable sound.

“A complete and unified work capable of positioning itself within an original sonic dimension that is difficult to emulate.”

The Walker’s 2026 Vol.85 ( Japan)

 “At the border of contemporary jazz and the avant-garde… lyrical melodies, free improvisation, and delicate electronics blend organically. Antonio Fusco’s lyrical drumming (Utagokoro) supports the trio, creating a sound in perfect harmony.”

“Antonio Fusco is a drummer with a deep sense of swing and ability to adapt to the different declinations of jazz, from jazz rock to experimental jazz. In Sete, his latest album, he also presents himself as a leader and composer. Ideal follower of Paul Motian, but with a personal sound and language, Antonio Fusco can be counted among our most representative drummers of our jazz” – Flavio Caprera – Jazz Convention

” The Motian lesson and the unavoidable link with the past and tradition are clear, but Fusco looks ahead, he travels swiftly towards the new, on the right path of what is and will be the Jazz of the future. I repeat, in my opinion a beautiful work, a breath of fresh air for the Italian Jazz…All is enhanced by his two very capable interlocutors who are none other than two of the most important names in the new generation of Italian jazz, pianist Manuel Magrini and double bass player Ferdinando Romano, the Top of the Top if I may say so !!”  Luigi Sicuranza – Jazz Ariano ” L’altro Suono”
