*A Truly Profound Loss
It's with the deepest sadness and a very heavy heart that I must announce the very unexpected passing of my very dear friend, mentor, recording partner, and world-reknown jazz pianist/conductor, Mr. John (Johnny-Chops) Colianni. Johnny passed away from a sudden illness within a few weeks of his diagnosis on November 28th, 2023. His lifetime acheivements, besides being Mel Torme's touring pianist for several years, included recording and touring with jazz greats like Miles Davis and Lionel Hampton. He also recorded and toured with such musical legends as Les Paul, Steve Miller, Don Henley, and many others!
*This news is especially difficult for me - both personally and professionally - as recently Johnny & I were in early discussions of a new recording project together in NYC of some of my original material & additional jazz covers slated for around late summer/2024.
I am eternally grateful for the time I did get to know and work with Johnny and will miss is professional guidence and his warm, humorous wit! Rest in peace, Johnny!
