CD on Trio Records and gigs with Allison Neale, more French Festivals with Didier Levallet, new CD with Inner Space and improvisations with Roger Turner.
Then and Now with alto saxophonist Allison Neale and Chris on baritone sax is based on the freewheeling, wonderfully melodic interpretations of standard material recorded 50 years ago by Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond on Blues in Time and Two of a Mind. We call the band Two of a Mind in tribute to Mulligan and Desmond and this debut album includes some tracks using arrangements from those original recordings, as well as new compositions and arrangements by Chris and Allison. In live performances we are starting to incorporate alto clarinet and flute into the improvisations.
 Then and Now is distributed by Proper Distribution and also available through the Trio Records website. Excellent reviews have been coming in and are being matched by an increasing number of gigs around the country. Lincoln, Reading, Welwyn, Chichester and London are confirmed so far.
