Currently, pianist John (or "Johnny Chops") is featured with the Les Paul Trio, appearing Monday nights at The Iridium, carrying on Les Paul‘s long-time gig. Each week, guest guitarists like Stanley Jordan, Mike Stern, Jose Feliciano, and Larry Coryell appear in tribute to Les with the Trio. John also appears with his own group, The John Colianni Quintet, around New York (at clubs like Smalls and the Knickerbocker, and regularly at The Garage Restaurant’s Sunday Jazz Brunch), and on the road. Solo piano gigs and guest appearances are also regular events. (for the full schecule, please click on “Performances”)

Other new recordings include: a duo album with guitar virtuoso, Larry Coryell (on Patuxent Records), due for release in the Fall of 2010; John is also both pianist and arranger on the new Jazz album from pop star Steve Miller, also due for a 2010 release.
