Shane Allessio plays a wide variety of music... as long as it swings! Between booming pizzicato and swinging arco his bass sound is visceral and raw. Compositionally he blends the classic sounds and styles of Jelly Roll, Duke and Mingus with modern sensibilities. His quartet includes Bill Jones on tenor sax, Chris Brown on guitar and Jurek Glod on drums. “Allessio plays strong backing to the horns, but is also a highly gifted soloist himself, playing like a saxophonist in terms of invention, both arco and pizzicato, something rarely heard since the days of the late, great Paul Chambers.” (Jazz Journal International)
