Description

Chris White has been exploring new directions for the cello since the late 1970's. Whether playing in an intimate duo with piano or guitar, with a jazz string quartet, or with his jazz group, the Cayuga Jazz Ensemble, Chris' playing has the vibrancy and the urgency of someone who is excited about what he is communicating. White's development as a jazz cellist has been strongly affected by his guitar studies of folk, rock and jazz during his formative years. He is the founder and director of the New Directions Cello Asociation and Festival, an international organization dedicated to broadening horizons for cellists. His first solo CD is called Cello Again. Chris is also a private cello teacher and a member of the Binghamton (NY) Phiharmonic.

Pianist Eric Hangen studied at Brown University and at Berklee School of Music. He has been a freelance latin jazz pianist since 1990 performing with Celia Cruz, Willie Rosario, Andy Montanez, Ismael Miranda, Cano Estremera, Giovanni Hidalgo, Dave Valentin, and many others.
