Band members include Doug Mathews, Walt Hubbard, and Ed Krout.
Chris has 9 CDs as a leader, 30 as a producer, and 15 as a sideman. In addition to running the center, Cortez and his wife Melody also own Blue Bamboo Music, a record label supporting a dozen jazz artists. You can hear samples of Chris's records, purchase CDs, and read more about Chris here.
