Michael J. Ross

Born: August 9, 1958

Bassist and Composer Michael Ross continues to captivate audiences with his exceptional skill and dedication to musical excellence.

Hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Michael spent his early years being mentored by bassists Cecil McBee, Dee Moses, and Jim Miller, transforming his artistic trajectory in profound ways.

Within the vibrant music scene of Tampa Bay, Michael assumed leadership roles in two renowned and award-winning groups, Liquid Bebop and later the Michael Ross Quartet.

His latest work, "Giraffe" (2023), featuring a mix of new original material and his fresh take on jazz classics, is a testament to his unyielding passion for musical exploration.
