Chris Whiteman, guitar

Attucks Jazz Series

The John Toomey Trio

“Gorgeous…with an ‘old school’ attitude that harkens back to a possibly simpler time when tone and taste were king” (TheJazzGuitarLife.com). New Jersey-born but Richmond, Virginia-bred, Chris Whiteman has often been described as an old soul, a devotee of classic jazz who finds new depth and delight in the standards that have defined jazz for generations. A performer and educator, soloist and sought-after sideman, Whiteman has played venues across the U.S. including New York’s famed Blue Note, Birdland, the Hollywood Bowl, Monterey Jazz Festival and more. Warm up a November night with the mellow sound of this extraordinarily gifted guitarist!
