Between 1980 and 1989, he worked live with a number of touring artists, including trumpeters Woody Shaw, Kenny Wheeler, and Jack Walrath. His love of the trumpet became a catalyst for study. In 1989 he moved to Boston to attend the Berklee School of music, where he majored in trumpet.

He joined pianist Danilo Perez's trio and toured the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. Upon return he subsequently joined the Paquito D'Rivera Sextet and remained for two years. In 1991 Rossy and his brother Mario moved to New York City.

In addition, he and Mario formed their own groups. Jorge won steady gigs accompanying younger bandleaders including Brad Mehldau, Ethan Iverson, Reid Anderson, and Avishai Cohen. In 1993, the Mehldau-Rossy Trio cut When I Fall in Love for Fresh Sound, followed almost immediately by the two-volume New York-Barcelona Crossing for the same label. The group was expanded into a quartet for these outings with the addition of tenorist Perico Sambeat. In 1995, Rossy joined Mehldau's trio with bassist Larry Grenadier. He remained for 11 years, playing on all five Art of the Trio volumes, Largo, Anything Goes, and House on Hill. During his tenure with the pianist, Rossy branched out; he also toured and recorded with Joshua Redman, Mike Kanan, Ben Monder, and Ben Street, among others. He moved back to Barcelona in 2000 and began to shift his focus to the piano, though he still worked mainly as a drummer. In 2003, he made his debut as a pianist on the Jordi Matas Quintet's All That Matas, and reprised it two years later on Racons. In 2006, Rossy returned to Fresh Sound, leading his own piano trio on the critically acclaimed Wicca with drummer R.J. Miller and organist Albert Sanz.
