Russell, in turn, played often for Zummo, notably on the Bessie Award–winning composition Lateral Pass, created for a dance by choreographer Trisha Brown, with a stage set by artist Nancy Graves.[https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/19/arts/dancers-and-performers-receive-bessie-awards.html “Dancers and Performers Receive Bessie Awards”.

Education and training

After Zummo's early classical-music education in his hometown, Cleveland, Ohio, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music and composition at Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Connecticut.[http://www.wesleyan.edu/music/for_majors/senior_theses.html Wesleyan University: Senior Honors Theses in Music.

After Wesleyan, Zummo moved to New York City, where he continued trombone studies with Carmine Caruso{{Cite web |date=2022-07-11 |title=The Carmine Caruso Legacy - Mouthpiece Online |url=https://mouthpieceonline.com/the-carmine-caruso-legacy/ |access-date=2023-11-26 |website=mouthpieceonline.com |language=en-US}} and Roswell Rudd and sought out the influences of James Fulkerson and Stuart Dempster.

In New York City, Zummo developed extended techniques for the trombone and other instruments and created many works, including numerous pieces with his wife, then-choreographer and dancer Stephanie Woodard. For several years, he wrote music and performance reviews in the SoHo Weekly News. For a 2006 article by “Blue” Gene Tyranny in Dram, Zummo described his compositional approach as being about “persons not instruments,” elaborating that he provides “material for musicians and sufficient instructions, so they don’t make arbitrary but rather logical or heartfelt decisions.” His work, Zummo continued, thus “engenders a social situation reflecting modern society.”

Academic and other positions

Zummo has been a visiting artist at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Dance de Paris, and the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and Wesleyan University, among others. He was senior faculty advisor with the New York Arts Program, a New York City-based project of Ohio Wesleyan University and the Great Lakes Colleges Association, and artistic director of The Loris Bend Foundation, a nonprofit presenter of music, dance, and media.{{Cite web |title=2023-2024 Colloquium Series - Wesleyan University |url=https://www.wesleyan.edu/music/Colloquium_Series/2022-2023_colloquium_series.html |access-date=2023-11-26 |website=www.wesleyan.edu}}
