Chris Weller's Hanging Hearts
Chris Weller's Hanging Hearts, formed 2013, is a dynamic musical trio dedicated to the fearless exploration of group improvisation. Their music, organic and raw, bridges the gap between jazz, rock, and experimental music. The band features it's leader Chris Weller on tenor saxophone and compositions, Cole DeGenova on keyboards, and Devin Drobka on drums. While Chris and Cole grew up in Chicago, playing professionally in jazz and blues clubs by the age of 15, the trio was completed at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where all three members graduated. While the trio's repertoire consists mostly of Weller's original compositions, they are also known to deconstruct popular songs and freely improvise.
Members of the group have performed around the world and have shared the stage with Joe Lovano, Jerry Bergonzi, Greg Osby, Tony Malaby, Mike Moreno, Tower of Power, Lettuce, Kurt Elling, Snarky Puppy, Kenny Barron, and Big Boi (Outkast), among many others. Notable performances include the Chicago Jazz Festival, Velvet Lounge, Jazz Showcase, New York's Carnegie Hall. Though they have been playing together for years, the group released their debut album in October '14, with supporting US shows and European tour.
