The Mike Rossi Project CDs and performances feature a whirlwind tour of musical styles including Standards, Latin, Jazz-Rock, Swing, Blues, Modal and South African Jazz with some twists along the way. The music ranges from a gentle whisper, to a big band shout using trumpet, trombone, a variety of saxophones and woodwinds along with a stellar rhythm section.
