The repertoire embraces Italian songs from the 1960’s to the present and revisits them through the fine lens of Jazz, combining intimate arrangements and intense Latin-inspired rhythms. Songs include evergreens such as Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare), and Parole parole, as well as hidden gems that promise to produce even more Italian aficionados - L’appuntamento by Ornella Vanoni and Mi sono innamorato di te by songwriter Luigi Tenco, just to name a few.

These recordings brought him into contact with saxophonist Jane Bunnett. He toured with her and appeared on three of her recordings: Ritmo and Soul (2000), Alma de Santiago (2001) and Cuban Odyssey (2003).

As a leader of the acclaimed jazz orchestra NOJO, his own quintet, and The Sicilian Project, Michael has established himself as an inventive composer and arranger, and his recording Creation Dream – The Songs of Bruce Cockburn remains a favourite instrumental jazz recording among critics and fans. Chasing After Light, Michael’s 2008 JUNO nominated recording, features the same stellar quintet of musicians heard on Creation Dream. This new recording departs from the songs of Bruce Cockburn by showcasing Michael’s original compositions and by showing off a broad palette of guitar sounds, including a particularly impassioned solo that one critic praised as “face melting.” Blending a variety of folk sounds (Cuban music, African blues, and a beautiful Bruce Cockburn inspired acoustic guitar composition) with a modern melodic approach to jazz improvisation, Chasing After Light was recently praised bythe CBC’s Errol Nazereth as one of the best jazz recordings of 2007.', '9.p' => 'DUE TO TRAVELLING DELAYS THE VOCALIST LAURA CAMPISI,  WILL BE REPLACED BY ITALIAN CANADIAN SINGER', '10.p' => 'OUTDOOR CONCERT (Weather permitting)', '11.p' => 'free admission', ), '6.div' => array( '1.h2' => 'Information', '2.p' => array( '1.strong' => 'Date:', '2.strong' => 'Wednesday, August 15, 2018', ), '3.p' => array( '1.strong' => 'Time:', 2 => 'At', '3.strong' => '6:30 pm', ), '4.p' => array( '1.strong' => 'Organized by :', 2 => 'Istituto Italiano di Cultura', ), '5.p' => array( '1.strong' => 'Entrance :', 2 => 'Free', ), ), '7.div' => array( '1.div' => array( '1.p' => 'Location:', '2.p' => 'Istituto Italiano di Cultura | 496 Huron Street', ), '2.div' => array( '1.p' => 'Periodical:', '2.p' => 'Laura Campisi Italian Jazz', ), '3.div' => array( '1.p' => 'Author:', '2.p' => 'Laura Campisi Italian Jazz feat.
