Lefteris Kordis

Born: December 3, 1977

Pianist, composer and Inner Circle Music recording artist, Lefteris Kordis, has established himself as a unique voice in the Mediterranean Jazz genre. He grew up in Elefsis, an ancient and multicultural town near Athens, Greece. Since age four, he studied, performed, and composed based on a wide spectrum of genres including Greek Folk, European Chamber, and Jazz.

Kordis started on piano at age 4, ingesting broad swaths of the classical tradition and soon-thereafter, jazz. Before he turned 18, he had performed with legendary Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. That was an excellent start to a career that’s seen him supporting many maestros in Jazz (Steve Lacy, Sheila Jordan, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Joe Lovano, Greg Osby, Robin Eubanks), and Greek Folk (Panayotis Lalezas, Glykeria, Vasilis Saleas), at festivals and major venues (Carnegie Hall, Panama JF, Toronto JF, Athens Epidaurus Festival), worldwide.

Damien DelRusso

Born: October 19, 1948

Born with a condition known as RP (retinitis pigmentosa) I am almost totally blind. RP is a progressive eye disease. I come from a large family (8 children) and six of us were born with RP. In spite of this, I have been fortunate enough to earn a living as a piano player and piano tuner for over 30 years. My love of music has surely helped me get through some difficult times. My band, known as The Limited Edition was the house band for the The Friar Tuck from 1980 to 1985. The Friar Tuck was a popular restaurant and catering hall in Cedar Grove, NJ. When that came to an end I went out on my own playing at restaurants and at upscale catering/ reception halls throughout Essex and Morris counties in NJ
