Live music is a collective experience of shared emotions and Damian Espinosa continues to bring that experience to venues around Chicago. He has played piano in many diverse musical settings as both a jazz leader and as sideman, as a solo pianist, accompanist, for stage productions, operas, Second City, and even for a silent film. His piano style combines elements of jazz, classical, rock, and latin. The music yields a wealth of tantalizing harmonic colors and rhythmic grooves that span the continuum of jazz. Currently Damian is involved in many creative projects that include traditional jazz, mainstream jazz, pop, funk, and avant-garde. He also stays busy as a composer and arranger. Damian Espinosa brings the music that gets toes tapping, heads bobbing, and smiles glowing to the rhythmic flow of jazz, Chicago-style.
Damian has shared the stage with such notable musicians as Harrison Bankhead, Yosef ben Israel, Mwata Bowden, Joel Brandon, Zach Brock, Douglas Ewert, Burgess Gardner, Chris Greene, Marquecia Jordan, Lady T, Leon Joyce, Heather Moran, Dushun Mosley, Audley Reid, Dan Shapera, Robert Shy, Denise Thimes, Malachi Thompson, Michael Whelan, Corey Wilkes, and Natalie Yokley.
