vibraphone. Confirmed in May of 2001, in Downbeat Magazine when he was awarded "Outstanding

returned home from working as Musical Director and Pianist for Latin Vocal Legend Julio Iglesias. For
the past year, Christian has been under contract with Cirque du Soleil as musical director for a brand new
production.
Christian first started performing jazz at the age of 14, now 29, he has had the opportunity to
work with many jazz legends including, Ira Sullivan, Kenny Barron, Clark Terry, James Moody,
Benny Green, Bucky Pizarelli, Kevin Mahogany, Nicolas Payton, Art Van Damm, Slide
Hampton, Bob Mintzer, Milt Hilton, D*** Hyman, Bob Haggart, Mark Murphy, Eric Marienthal,
Marcus Printup, and Bunky Green.
Christian has performed as a guest artist with Dave Brubeck, as a solo percussionist with
Michael Feinstein, and opened for Harry Connick, Jr.
Over the past 6 years, Christian and his quartet has performed at such venues as The Lincoln

In December of 2005, Christian and bassist Elisa Pruett were hired to play for NBA legend

highly publicized, surprise birthday party in New York City in 2002. In winter of 2006,
Christian’s first album “ Move” was released as a part of a Starbucks Gift Set available around

Although rooted in jazz, Christian’s ability to be diverse in the music industry has allowed him to be

vocal star Julio Iglesias performing as his featured pianist and shared as musical director. The world tour
has included stops throughout the US, Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, The Dominican Republic, Portugal,

their stage show in Las Vegas. Off the stage, Christian also works as a clinician, teaching high
school and college students all around the country. Clinics vary from working with jazz big
bands, small groups, and improvisation, to percussion technique for mallets in the concert or
marching idiom. Christian is endorsed by Receptor Muse, Pro-mark sticks and mallets, and plays
exclusively Musser vibraphones.

- Hello to everyone here on the Jazz Network. Its my honor to be featured here on the site this week, and I do hope to meet some great new folks. I'm in the process of relocating from the east coast of Florida to the San Jose/San Fran area. I will be there starting in November. Any folks on that would like to connect in the area would be great to touch base with and network with! All my best C
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!
