Michael "Dodo" Marmarosa (December 12, 1925 – September 17, 2002) was an American bebop pianist. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a child prodigy, Marmarosa was a trained classical pianist, but familiarised himself with jazz in parallel and practised with school mate Erroll Garner, another pianist from Pittsburgh.
