exploring the full range of possibilities around the New Orleans clarinet tradition. Anchored in the musical vocabulary created by early Creole musicians such as Sidney Bechet, Omer Simeon, and Barney Bigard, he has created a highly personal brand of “contemporary early-jazz” that strives to expand the legacy of this unique style.Christopher’s journey on Clarinet Road began in 1994 when he left his native California for New Orleans to be a part of the country’s most important and historic music community.

The latter, fusing Gypsy Swing with New Orleans grooves and rhythms of “le monde Créole,” released their debut CD, “Django à la Créole” in 2008 and a second outing, “Finesse,” in 2010 (Fremeaux & Associés). As a composer, his original songs are the high point of critically acclaimed CDs such as “Delta Bound” featuring pianist Dick Hyman (Arbors, 2007), “The Remembering Song” featuring guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli (Arbors, 2010), and the Grammy-winning New Orleans Jazz Orchestra’s “Book One.” In July 2010, he had the honor to debut his “Treat It Gentle Suite,” the first concerto written for clarinet and jazz band in the New Orleans style, with the Minnesota Orchestra.Mr. Christopher began his musical training on clarinet at age 11.

Joel Frahm’s May 1st release, We Used to Dance, places him in the company
of master musicians Kenny Barron (piano), Rufus Reid (bass), and Victor
Lewis (drums). Frahm more than holds his own in showing both the chops
and lyricism that has made him an irreplaceable part of so many sessions
in his two decades on the jazz scene.
Surrounded by jazz legends, Frahm makes this recording a true “coming
out party” for his maturing artistry. It is his most ambitious CD to date, featuring six of his original compositions that come to life in beautiful and variegated ways in the hands of this remarkable band. “It was an honor and a
watershed experience to make this record with these incredible musicians”
he says.
Having made a name for himself through his associations with singer Jane
Monheit and boyhood friend, pianist Brad Mehldau, Frahm hones his own
voice on this breakout recording. Joel has also worked with a vast array of
musical peers and jazz legends including Maynard Ferguson, Betty Carter,
Matt Wilson, Larry Goldings, Dewey Redman, Lee Konitz, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Andrew Hill, Ben Allison, Pat Martino, Ingrid Jensen, Dena Derose,
The Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Kyle Eastwood and many others.

the Arts and earned his B.A. in Jazz Performance at Manhattan School of
Music. He released three highly regarded CDs on Palmetto: The Navigator,
Don’t Explain (with Mehldau), and Sorry No Decaf. Don’t Explain, his
latest, was the number one jazz release for radio play in the United States
