Rossano Sportiello command of the jazz language is complete, whether it's within the stride tradition or through the fluid harmonic concepts of beboppers and Bill Evans. Among those enthusiastic about his talents are Dan Barrett and Barry Harris. In the Dark was issued originally on Blue Swing Records in a limited edition with sales made at Rossano's performances. HIs musical profile continues to grow with appearances at major jazz events in Europe and the U.S.. His appearance at Blackpool's Swinging Jazz Party called upon him to match wits with both Dick Hymas and Houston Person.
