Duke Ellington Medley / Antonino DeLuca

At the Mesa Accordion Event on Feb. 16, 2013, Antonino DeLuca made his U.S. debut playing arrangements based in tribute to Frank Marocco. Antonino is a 22 year old classical accordion student who lives in Castelfidardo Italy. He completes his classical accordion educating this year and plans on focusing on jazz. He is very much influenced by Frank Marocco and had the opportunity of playing with Frank and taking some master classes when Frank visited Italy during some of his many trips.
