János Kőrössy (26 December 1926 - 21 January 2013) was a Romanian jazz musician. He was a piano player, composer and arranger. He was born to an ethnic Hungarian family in Cluj. His first teacher was pianist and conductor Teodor Cosma, of whom he said, "I owe him everything, and for me the beginning is everything, the rest comes by itself." Kőrössy was noted for combining the musical language typical of jazz with elements of local folk music, a trend referred to as ethno jazz. <a href="https://w
