performed as pianist or bassist with Jamey Aebersold, Lynne Arriale,
Andy LaVerne, Harry Pickens, Richard Stolzman, Don Braden, Sonny
Fortune, and many others. Chris earned a Master of Music degree in
Theory and Composition from the University of Louisville in 1992. Since
then, he has become dedicated to jazz education, serving as a faculty
member at the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops for the past nine
years, and more recently joining the UofL Jazz Department, where he
teaches traditional and jazz theory, jazz piano, jazz bass, and jazz
ensembles. He currently devotes much of his creative energy to his
continuing role as bassist in the Harry Pickens Trio, and to his new
role as bassist and contributing composer for Java Men, a quartet
dedicated to the performance of original jazz-influenced music.
