Rossano Sportiello is an award-winning Italian jazz pianist born in Vigevano, who began classical piano studies at age nine and was performing professionally by his mid-teens before joining Europe’s historic Milano Jazz Gang. He has since built an international career rooted in stride, swing, and bebop traditions, drawing praise from mentors like Barry Harris and earning the 2009 Ascona Jazz Award for his mastery of jazz piano, particularly stride. Now based in New York City, Sportiello has performed and recorded widely with many jazz luminaries, appeared at major venues and festivals around the world, and continues to be celebrated for his lyrical, swinging style and deep musicality.
