Oscar Rossignoli's musical versatily is evident on INERTIA. Recorded in October 2020, amid the uncertainty felt in New Orleans during the pandemic, the set contains original compositions, spontaneous improvisations, and a Honduran traditional song, exploring and combining Rossignoli's coexisting worlds:
"Pendulum", "Vámonos!", "Preludio For Chick", and "Perpetual Motion" were improvisations that happened spontaneously at the recording session; "Endless Fall", "Siempre", and "Long Story Short" are compositions written in the jazz tradition but that have a heavy emphasis on Latin rhythms; "Nocturno" and "Tableau" were through-composed pieces conceived in the western/classical style, reminiscent of composers such as Chopin and Rachmaninoff.
Oscar Rossignoli has collaborated with artists including; Jason Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Joe Dyson, and Shannon Powell, among others, as well as new music composers; Brad Walker and James Singleton. As a resident of New Orleans for the past seven years, Rossignoli has also formed alliances with local treasures such as John Boutté and Don Vappie. Rossignoli is also a founder of the trio EXTENDED, whose third album of original works is due for release later this year.
