Born in Portland and raised in Corvallis, Oregon, Chris’s early exposure to music came from his mother, a trained pianist who influenced his musical journey. At the age of nine, he first held a trumpet, and by the age of 12, he fully committed to the instrument after being captivated by Miles Davis’ “My Funny Valentine”. His high school involvement in the All American High School Jazz band led to his debut at Carnegie Hall. Following high school, he convinced officials to allow him to complete his senior year at Mount Hood Community College where he met and befriended future trombonist and filmmaker, Todd Field.
Although Chris enrolled at Indiana University School of Music, he left in his senior year to embark on a tour with Frank Sinatra and Buddy Rich. Subsequently, he established himself in the New York jazz scene, initially working as a studio musician. His career took a significant turn when he formed a friendship with Paul Simon, leading to a decade-long touring experience. This drew the attention of other musicians, resulting in numerous collaborations with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Natalie Cole, Bette Midler, and Aretha Franklin. His association with Sting led to a tour and the release of the DVD “All This Time” (2001).
In 1995, Chris released his first studio album, “First Wish”, but it was his 2001 release, “Night Sessions”, that propelled him to success, reaching No. 4 on the US Jazz chart. His subsequent albums, including “December” (2002), and “A Thousand Kisses Deep” (2003), all contributed to his rising popularity and wealth. He achieved his first No. 1 album with “When I Fall in Love” in 2004, followed by three more No. 1 albums, “To Love Again: The Duets” (2005), “Italia” (2007), and “Impressions” (2012).
While Chris has been involved in high-profile relationships, he is not married.
