Award-winning jazz pianist Rossano Sportiello returns to Tri-State! He last appeared in August 2016. He brings his eclectic style of pianism that blends classical training with jazz and stride. He has performed with many of the world’s finest jazz luminaries, including Clark Terry, Kenny Davern, Bucky Pizzarelli, Harry Allen, Bill Charlap, Dick Hyman, and many others, in venues such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, the Blue Note, Birdland, and Feinsteins, to name a few. We're pleased to present Rossano in this live audience engagement, as life returns to something like normal following the isolation of the pandemic.

Background

Based in New York City, Rossano is a classically trained Italian pianist who transitioned to Jazz at a very young age. He is a master of both genres and his classical skills frequently come to the fore along with Harlem Stride Piano. He plays with a relaxed swing, paying respect to the original melodies while also adding something of his own to each performance. Stylistically, Rossano, who has made several previous appearances for TSJS, is a follower of Ralph Sutton, Hank Jones, Tommy Flanagan, Dave McKenna and Barry Harris, but is also influenced by the masters like Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, George Shearing, Count Basie, Earl Hines, Ellis Larkins and Bill Evans.
