Angelo Leo is a jazz saxophonist and educator. With experience as a performer, bandleader, and recording artist, he brings a creative and supportive approach to teaching. His lessons focus on listening, improvisation, and ensemble skills, while encouraging musical expression and physical well-being.

Jeff has been playing guitar since the age of 10, at first taking private lessons from a family friend and later on learning proper theory and technique in high school music classes. During his time in high school, Jeff studied and composed mainly in the style of progressive rock and heavy metal, playing multiple live shows with bands of these genres. His lead guitar work was later featured on Voidchaser’s critically acclaimed debut album Solace, a progressive rock record that has received international recognition. With his own band Sum and Substance, Jeff’s debut single 'Kind' reached over 40,000 plays, contributing to a catalog of music that has now amassed more than half a million streams worldwide.

Beyond rock and metal, Jeff has also gone on to explore Jazz, Blues, and Classical since joining the Concordia Jazz Performance program in 2017. The musical styles of jazz players such as Pat Martino, Wynton Kelly, Clifford Brown, and John Coltrane have cultivated a deep love of jazz and the culture surrounding improvisation throughout his time at Concordia.

The most important thing when playing music according to Jeff is consistent practice. Committing time to your instrument every day will cultivate a love that eventually grows into something spectacular. For Jeff, the mindset of a musician playing his instrument should be the same as that of a child at play, and he emphasizes the importance of having fun with music in his lessons.
