  • Bio

    (I'll keep it short) Denson Angulo is one of the most sought-after bassists in the Salt Lake City metro area. With a Master's of Music degree, and skills in an abundance of music styles, Denson has worked extensively as an educator and free-lance professional playing electric bass, acoustic jazz, and classical double bass. A sample of his credentials include international tours to China, Taiwan, Australia, and most of Europe; performances with jazz greats Bob Mintzer, Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Victor Wooten, Nicholas Payton, Bob Shepard, Jamie Abersold, Wycliffe Gordon, Dennis DiBlasio, Kathy Kosins, Tom Scott, Shelly Berg, Bobby Shew, Gregg Bissonette, Carl Allen and many others. As a classical musician, he has recorded for ESPN, ABC, NBC television, DreamWorks Pictures, and LDS motion pictures, and performed solo bass repertoire with the Honolulu Symphony. As an educator he has maintained private bass studios for over 18 years. He has traveled the inter-mountain west as an adjudicator and clinician and has been a full-time professor at Brigham Young University Idaho coordinating their Classical/Jazz bass studio, running their jazz combo program, and teaching jazz history. Currently, Denson is free-lancing in the Salt Lake City metro area, an adjunct bass instructor and Utah Valley University, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor (of jazz bass) at the University of Utah. Denson is also a pioneer in bass education in Utah as he pursues his doctorate in performance in double bass and jazz studies at the U this year. .... .... ..
  • Members

    I play bass in The Salt Lake City Jazz Orchestra (Jerry Floor's). Also, I play in some other projects with various artists around town. I'm also involved with studios in the SLC area like LA east, Soularium, Counterpoint et al doing session work. You can also catch me freelancing at weddings and corporate functions with Jerry Floor, Jay Lawrence and Joe Muscolino ;). Basically, if someone needs a bass player that knows his crap, people call me.
  • Influences

    John Patitucci is a huge influence on both my electric and acoustic bass playing. He's one of the first bass players i heard when i started (i was 15). I had the chance to go out to New York and study with him and hang with him. It was an awesome experience. We keep in touch and I study with him when I get the chance. Another influence is Victor Wooten. Another one of my 'firsts.' We've jammed together, I did the bass-nature camp, and he's invited me back to help out. He's a great person and player. When he's in SLC I'm often his personal tour-guide/chauffeur, I suspect he digs riding in the bass-mobile! It's amazing to me that my biggest influences are now friends of mine, I hope that we can continue to have long-lasting musical and social experiences with each other. Recently I studied with Gary Willis using secret futuristic technologies. He kicked my butt and i felt like a tool most of the time...but man it was fun! I'll be starting my DMA this coming fall in performance at U of U. After that, I hope to hook up with him again. Some of my other influences are Edgar Meyer, Jaco, Chick Corea, Michael Manring, John Coltrane, Chris Potter, Bill Stewart, Brian Blade, Marcus Miller...the list is huge! I wont go on. All i know is...i like music waaaay too much.

    Denson ~ Live a LIFE OF ROMANCE!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ROMANCE ...

    "To be ROMANTIC is quite simply to allow yourself

    to FALL IN LOVE WITH LIFE -- ALL OF LIFE -- and

    experience it FULLY, OPENLY, PASSIONATELY,

    and PURPOSEFULLY."

     ~ Thomas Kinkade

    IS NOT THIS THE TRUE ROMANTIC FEELING ~

    NOT TO DESIRE TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT TO PREVENT

    LIFE FROM ESCAPING YOU?
