Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Italian jazz talents Tommaso Perazzo (piano) and Marcello Cardillo (drums). We talk about their powerful new 2025 album Portrait of a Moment featuring legendary bassist Buster Williams.

Now based in Harlem, Tommaso and Marcello reflect on their beginnings in Amsterdam, their shared Italian roots, and their musical evolution in the vibrant New York jazz scene. This conversation dives into the making of the album, how they linked up with Buster Williams, their influences, and their deep passion for jazz.

This is a story of friendship, international collaboration, and capturing the soul of the moment—on record and beyond.
