Chicago-based saxophonist and composer Arman Sangalang has been garnering attention as one of the up-and-coming jazz musicians on the scene. Sangalang composes intricate originals, weaving together lyricism and colorful textures to deliver atmospheric soundscapes. His current project, the Arman Sangalang Quartet, brings freewheeling and fiery improvisations to audiences. His sophomore album Waypoints (Calligram Records) was described by jazz journalist Neil Tesser as "a revelation and a delight, and a quantum leap into another orbit entirely.”

Throughout his career, he’s had the honor of sharing the stage with notable jazz artists such as Jon Irabagon, Clark Sommers, Bruce Forman, Sylvia Cuenca, and countless others. Most recently, Sangalang was named a 2026 Luminarts Jazz Improvisation Fellow. He is also an alum of renowned programs like the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Academy, the Boysie Lowery Living Jazz Residency, and the Jazz Institute of Chicago Jazz Links Fellowship.
