Over the last four years, Ellipsis has evolved from a piano trio to a collective featuring the most creative musicians in Philadelphia.

Co-leaders John Stenger and Justin Leigh are both schooled jazz musicians, but in the music of Ellipsis you can also hear their love of singer-songwriters and indie rock. Their latest album, Edge Hill Road, is a dreamy collection of ten gorgeously crafted original compositions. The emphasis is on mood and texture rather than virtuosic displays, and the result is a beautiful record with a cinematic sense of story and drama.
