 Francisco,CA, the son of classical trumpeter Joe 
 Alessi and opera singer Maria Leone. After taking 
 degrees in jazz trumpet and bass - he studied 
 under the legendary Charlie Haden at CalArts -

 He's been a frequent collaborator with such notable 
 musicians as Steve Coleman, Jason Moran, Don Byron, 
 Ravi Coltrane, Fred Hersch, Uri Caine and Marc 
 Copland. \n

 Alessi has recorded nine albums of original compositions 
 which draw on everything from post-bop to neo 
 classical music. He currently records for the 
 ECM record label including his 2016 release Quiver. 
 In 2018, he will release a new This Against That 
 record on the label. As an educator, Ralph is
