"Jazzy Mike Around the World" is the debut album by Michele Samory, Italian composer, trumpeter and vocalist. With Swing, Latin Jazz and Dixieland, all the nine tracks of the album follow the fancy travel around the world of the '40s of the iconic character Jazzy Mike, born from the fantasy of Michele and the pencil of Martina Fratini. From Cuba to New Orleans, from Morocco to Tennessee, Samory's original compositions alternate with covers which pay tribute to the greatest jazz composers of the so-called "Roarin' Age", like Glenn Miller or Duke Ellington. Joining in the expedition are Massimo Morganti (trombone), Riccardo Federici (alto sax and flute), Filippo Sebastianelli (tenor sax), Marco Postacchini (baritone sax and clarinet), Diego Donati (guitar and banjo), Manuele Montanari (double bass), Tommaso Sgammini (piano), Lorenzo Martinelli (drum), Marco Roveti (percussion) and vocal guest Sabrina Angelini...
