Chris Colangelo

Anyone familiar with the Los Angeles jazz scene probably is already acquainted with bassist Chris Colangelo: he has worked at length in the City of Angels jazz circuit, as a leader or a guest, has recorded with other artists, and done stints for television and soundtrack projects. Colangelo, however, is not as well known for his composition skills, which hopefully will change with his latest outing, "Elaine’s Song," the nine-track, hour-long album Colangelo has spent two years putting together. The mostly postbop material is a showcase for Los Angeles talent and positions a basic trio setup (celebrated pianist John Beasley, drummer Steve Hass and Colangelo) alongside other notable L.A.-based players: Benn Clatworthy (who adds tenor sax and flute), Bob Sheppard (who contributes tenor and soprano sax) and alto saxophonist Zane Musa. Chris Colangelo has been living, working and recording in Los Angeles for about the last 20 years or so
