Due voci tenor by Rampone & Cazzani
Looking forward to 2018 - teaching, performances, recordings, international travel and various jazz conferences and festivals.
The Mike Rossi Project: Journey CD will be released in June 2018
2017 was an exciting year - The Mike Rossi Project: Take Another Five CD was released and there was a mini-tour to the Eastern Cape in May with assistance from a Concerts SA Music Mobility Award.
A new online video tutorial series Mastering Odd Times with Darius Brubeck and Mike Rossi, was published on MusicGurus in 2017 after being filmed and recorded in London in July 2016.
Please check out the tabs on the left that represent various fields of my performing and teaching career. I will be adding material on a regular basis with a special focus on jazz education. I hope you find this material useful and enlightening.
un caro saluto!
