TOMMASO PERAZZO - Piano
BUSTER WILLIAMS - Bass
MARCELLO CARDILLO - Drums

This trio is a truly exceptional collaboration on featuring Italian pianist Tommaso Perazzo and drummer Marcello Cardillo alongside legendary bassist Buster Williams. This intergenerational collaboration on captures the living essence of jazz tradition on—mentorship turning into true musical partnership across generations and borders. Buster Williams, born in 1942, is a true jazz tan whose career spans decades alongside giants such as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Sarah Vaughan, Dexter Gordon, Nancy Wilson, Art Blakey, and Be y Carter. A Grammy winner and NEA recipient, Williams brings unparalleled depth and enthusiasm to the project. As “Jazz News (UK)” noted, despite thousands of sessions, he approaches this trio “with enthusiasm, delivering a performance that is anything but routine.” Pianist Tommaso Perazzo and drummer Marcello Cardillo, both in their late twen es, first connected at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2015. They later relocated to New York City in 2021 to pursue Master’s degrees at the Manhattan School of Music, where they encountered the iconic Buster Williams in his ensemble workshops. What began as mentorship blossomed into genuine musical kinship, culminating in the recording of their debut album Portrait of a Moment for the prestigious Red Records label. The album has earned strong praise: “Musical Jazz” called it “Tommaso Perazzo and Marcello Cardillo’s interna onal breakout—bolstered by the presence of jazz legend Buster Williams,” while “The Jazz World” highlighted the group’s “trio architecture in real me.” Following the May 2025 release, in the summer 2025 the trio toured some of Italy’s most important jazz festivals earning an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and critics alike.
