COLORS was founded in 2011 by Uli Geissendoerfer as an amalgam of his two earlier Las Vegas projects RED, A Latin Jazz powerhouse sextet and BLUE, a World Music quartet to octet. It is geared towards spanning the globe of Jazz, with a special emphasis on vocalist Pascale Elia and her interplay with saxophonist Charles McNeal.

Ryan Rose and Derek Jones complete the high-energy rhythm section. The group features many original compositions by Mr. Geissendoerfer and highly creative arrangements from various styles; from The Beatles to Sergio Mendez.
