Thank you for accessing the official Bridgeport Jazz Trio YouTube channel. We will be adding new videos soon.
The Bridgeport Jazz Trio was founded by Lou Bruno (bass), Bob Wason (piano) and Albert Montecalvo. The Trio played together in high school after years of having had virtually no contact with each other. They began to play together again forming the Bridgeport Jazz Trio.
Lou has worked as a professional bass player since the early 1960s, playing with both commercial and jazz groups. He attended the Manhattan School of Music where he received both BMus and MMus degrees. After his training at Manhattan, he was a member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for four seasons, but then moved to Vienna, Austria to study with Ludwig Streicher at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik (before Bob got there).
Lou has also performed on the soundtracks to many major Hollywood films. He worked in Elaine Stritch’s band for eleven years on her one-woman Broadway show Elaine Stritch at Liberty.
