Mike Rossi Project, Durban tour
The Mike Rossi Project: Trespassing Permitted is the result of amixed musical life as a musician and educatorwho has travelled extensively. While born in the US, much of the music that will be performed reflects Mike's experiencesof living in South Africa for the past 15 years with frequent travels to the US, throughout Africa,Europe and especially Italy where his parents originate from.
The music was specifically orchestrated for three horns that include trumpet, trombone and multiple saxophones with a stellar rhythm section. The music ranges in style from South African township jazz, to hard bop, to modal, to latin, to contemporary.
Kesivan Naidoo, Dave Ridgway, James McClure, William Haubrich, and Melvin Peters represent the very best of South African jazz talent.
