September 24, 2025Great performance and professional
Anthony is a great professional. He arrived earlier than the time requested to have time to set up. We weren't able to provide an outlet for him to plug the guitar and he still managed to charge his guitar enough time to play during our event without any trouble. For anyone considering a guitarist I highly recommend it.

December 9, 2024Have Anthony perform at your wedding!
Anthony performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was truly absolutely amazing to work with. His music sounded incredible, and he was even able to accommodate our musical requests to ensure that it was everything that we wanted. All of our guests were blown away at how talented he was. His presence and performance really made the day feel so magical. Additionally, he was so easy and communicative to work with throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a guitarist for your wedding ceremony, I highly recommend Anthony!

December 9, 2024Wonderful artist + very professional
I hired Anthony to play our office holiday dinner. The music was wonderful and Anthony is also really nice, communicative, prompt and helped solve an issue with audio equipment. Couldn't ask for more.

About

His recent album "Beautiful World" features an ensemble that showcases a selection of songs inspired by world music influences, jazz, gypsy swing, klezmer, folk music, as well as covers by Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Gogol Bordello. Writer and columnist Tris McCall from The Jersey City Times has described Anthony Fuscaldo as "... a talented jazz performer and an innovator...'Beautiful World,' his album, is a confident globe-trot, drawing from Eastern European folk, bossa nova, North American swing, and — that irrepressible Jersey City favorite — French gypsy jazz... he clearly knows the style well." Since it's debut, "Beautiful World" has also received other press mentions from outlets like Jazziz Magazine, Jazz Guitar Today, The Syncopated Times, and other publications.
