About

Philip Marucci was born in Teaneck New Jersey and became interested in music early in his childhood. His parents took notice to this and bought him an upright piano and soon began taking piano lessons. He has been an ongoing student ever since and has studied with some of the best musicians in the NYC area including Kenny Werner, Cliff Korman, John Di Martino, Cidinho Texeira, Klaus Mueller and Luiz Simas to name a few.
Philip has performed in venues around the NYC metropolitan area such as Miles Club,
(link hidden)c Gallery, Festival of the Voice, Belski Museum and many private events.

Marucci is currently active in the New York City Brazilian jazz scene and is now recording a cd with world re-nowned players such as Cyro Baptista, Maucha Adnet, Paul Meyers, and Claudio Roditi.
​Inspired by the famous jazz and bossanova masters, Philip brings his passion and love into the music he performs at events of all kinds, public and private.
​Anyone who experiences Philip performing can instantly feel that music for him comes strait from the heart.
