upcoming chops events members of chops get in touch with chops
Our second CD features two very special guest artists with the Chops big band: Greg Abate on Alto Saxophone and Mary Blaser on vocals.

Chops II features 12 big band jazz tracks that span the gamut of today's big band repetoire ranging from the hard driving latin rhythms of Elvin's Mambo to the classic sounds of Duke Ellingon's Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Chops II was directed by Phil Zahorsky and Ken Crowell.
