THE MIKE ROSSI PROJECT
The Mike Rossi Project is a six-piece jazz ensemble created in 2012.
Since then it has produced four CDs featuring more than thirty original compositions to date, along with select standards, use of mixed media and orchestral settings for saxophone. Most of the original works have been published internationally by Advance Music/Schott Music, Germany.
Works from all the recordings have been performed in South Africa and internationally including Europe, United Kingdom, North America, South America and Japan.
