PIANIST JOHN COLIANNI - BIOGRAPHY
John Colianni is a pianist-arranger-composer, based in Philadelphia and NYC. Raised in suburban Maryland, John was a pupil of Lester Karr, who imparted Classical technique with studies of the Matthay method. John duly came to the attention of Ella Fitzgerald's bassist Keter Betts, who guided the young pianist - still a teen - to his first professonal gigs (1970s-80s). There followed a three-year stint, touring internationally and recording, with Jazz great Lionel Hampton's orchestra. Shortly thereafter, John was finalist and cash prize winner in the 1st Thelonus Monk Piano Competition
