He has performed recently with Eddie Palmieri, Pablo Menendez, Charlie Hunter, Slavic Soul Party, Bobby Sanabria, Richard Boukas, Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Tom Varner, Jovino Santos Neto, and Michael Spiro, and he has toured internationally with Pablo Moses, Apple Gabriel, Quasinada, Jumbalassy, and the Harry James Orchestra, as well as his own solo and group projects. Chris spent many years as the go-to trombone player in the jazz and Afro-Cuban scenes in Seattle, and he appears on over sixty recordings, including releases on OmniTone, Origin, and Sub Pop. A new CD with the Q.E.D. Trio is available on Origin Records, and a new CD with his Seattle-based quintet More Zero is scheduled to be released this spring.
Chris has done extensive research on Cecil Taylor, Luciano Berio, phenomenological approaches to music analysis, and the traditional and popular music of Cuba and Brazil. His PhD dissertation engages microrhythmic motions and call-and-response dialogs in Afro- Cuban music. He has presented at numerous prestigious academic conferences including the national SMT, AMS, and SEM conferences, and his work has been published by Cambridge Scholars Press, the ITA Journal, and Latin American Music Review. He received his PhD in Music Theory and DMA in Trombone Performance from the University of Washington, and holds an MA in Music Theory from the Eastman School of Music.
