DENVER - June 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Colorado native, Louis Colaiannia, has a new hit Smooth Jazz AC single that listeners are obsessed with.  Maybe because of the song’s title, “Obsession” but more likely because of the sultry track with Latin rhythms accentuated by drums and guitar.

The new hit single from Denver’s own has sex appeal and is coming from Colaiannia’s new album.

Only out for less than a month, Obsession is having a tremendous impact in the smooth AC format.  

Smooth AC is a mixture of jazz and adult commentary. The song was the “Most Added” in the smooth AC category for all the major charts to include Billboard, Groove Jazz Music Chart, Radio Wave Internet airplay chart as well as on the largest smooth jazz network in the nation.

The song is playing on iHeart Radio on Allan Kepler’s network.

As of Friday, 15 June 2013  the song is now top 10 for radio airplay on the Wave in Los Angeles.

The song is available for purchase at iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon and others.  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/louiscolaiannia

When asked recently how Colaiannia came up with the idea for the song, he said, “I was playing an outdoor event last year and I saw the most beautiful, enchanting woman walk past my keyboard.  

“She looked at me and I smiled at her.  She just turned her head and looked away. She did not respond to me at all.  

“Then after a while I noticed she was standing with her back to me across the street at a booth.  She was wearing a white sundress with the sun shining through her dress.  

“I saw that she was swaying to the rhythm of my music and I realized even though she would not even smile at me, I was moving her.”

Colaiannia said that the thought stayed with him.   “When I was writing Obsession I was imagining that I was in a smoky 1930s jazz club and that same woman was across the room.  Even though she would not give me the time of day, I tried to write music that would move her, or even seduce with just a song.”

“Obsession can mean many things, some of them negative of course, but to me in the context of the song it means passion, lust, sexual desire,” he said.

Colaiannia credits the musicians that worked with him during the recording session.  “I am so proud of how all the musicians seemed to capture the feeling of Obsession during the recording session.  When we slip into the subtle Latin beat, the bass player, who is originally from Brazil, creates such a mesmerizing feel with the drummer.  Its simply magic.”

The musicians are:

·       Sax  Greg Vail.  Greg is a highly respected sax player from southern California with many credits to his career.

·       Bass is Eduardo "Bijoux" Barbosa, originally from Brazil and currently the head of Bass at University of Colorado in Boulder.

·       Guitar is Danny Masters who holds a masters degree in guitar performance form the University of Denver.  

·       Drummer is Burt Shur who is a well know Los Angeles studio drummer with many credits to his career.

As far as the Smooth AC format goes, Colaiannia says that he is excited.  “I feel that I have been writing and performing music that fits the Smooth AC format for years and I'm so glad to finally have place for my music to fit".

Colaiannia a multi-award winning, internationally recognized musician has released new age music that has done very well in the past.

STRONG FAMILY TIES TO COLORADO

Denver based with a strong group of fans, Colaiannia is proud of his  family’s legacy to the Rocky Mountain state.  His great grandfather and grandmother came from Italy and settled in Denver and the family has been here since.  “My family has been in Denver over 100 years,” he said.

Colaiannia was born in Denver, went to Denver Public Schools K-12, then University of Colorado at Denver, followed by my doctorate from University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver.

“I studied piano first with Delome Kerstner in Denver (Starting at age 5), then I studied with the pianist from the Denver Symphony (it was Denver at the time) Kathleen Joiner, then finally with the head of piano from University of Denver, Lamont School of Music, Bill Sible.

Louis credits his success to sage advice given by his parents, Louis & Rose Colaiannia. “Mom always told me that if and when I ever set my sights on something, I should never quit…and Dad told me that I need to realize that everyone gets knocked down in life, but the successful get back up.”
