An adventure story and reveals a great talent. Ortuso Mike was one of the first Italian jazz musicians, revealing his skill as a guitarist, conductor and composer. From the age of three years went to live in America, where he studied violin and learned to play guitar and even banjo. Soon begins to win competitions and events. In 1921 he was only fourteen when Nick La Rocca enchants him inside his legendary "Original Dixieland Jazz Band." Back in Italy in 1923 and to succeed has to pretend to be American posing as the "student Mike Ortuso. In this way he got his first Italian writing in 1924. From then until his death in 1981, Michael "Mike" Ortuso write important chapters of Italian jazz. Orsara The Jazz, one of the highlights of the Festival Five South System, thus helps to raise the curtain on the story of a child capable of attracting attention of the captains on the international music scene.
