is one of the most lyrical and soulful alto players to have emerged from the UK in recent years. Loved for his melodic playing and pure tone, he has risen to prominence on the British jazz scene. He is now a regular at London's prestigious Ronnie Scotts and both he and his band are in great demand.
His musical roots besides jazz also include funk and groove orientated music. This has lead to commercial work with reggae trombonist Rico Rodriguez, Push, Paul Weller, Ottis Grand and the Ragga Twins.
He has played with some of the finest players in Europe: Chano Dominguez (premier Spanish jazz flamenco pianist), Geoff Gascoine, Carl Orr, Carl Orr, Antonio Ciacca.)
He has also performed in Café Central in Madrid and at Barcelona's Jamboree and has recorded for television (Jazz Entre Amigos) and radio. In Spain he also collaborated with tenor saxophonists Dave Schnitter (ex Art Blakey), Jorge Pardo (Paco de Lucia) and Antonio Mesa; and played extensively with guitarist Tito Alcedo.
In the UK Christian has worked extensively with trumpet player Damon Brown, touring England, Scotland and Italy and has featured on two of Damon¹s CDs.
