Corporate
events,
dinner-dances at private clubs and fraternal organizations, annual
Christmas
galas, private parties, weddings, reunions, and small "honky-tonks"
are all part of Dr. Chuck's many years of professional experience.
Dr.
Chuck’s appeal is based not only on his musical and
technical expertise, but on the variety
of styles he offers. He enjoys
a broad range of music because he has had good experiences with so many
kinds of music.
Starting
young, he played in a polka band
and other combos
while in high school. Attending the U.S. Navy School of Music in Washington, DC
was a formative experience for jazz
and big band styles. For three
years he was
the primary woodwind player in the Com. Sixth Fleet Band stationed in
the Mediterranean, playing concerts,
receptions and dances in
many ports.
During
college, he performed with a lounge
combo three
nights a week for three years and also in a big band that played for
weddings in
north-eastern Ohio.
After receiving Master’s and Ph.D. degrees, he had a career as an
educator and director of college
musicians
for 30 years. During this time he
directed
a college jazz band which
played for local dances as well as at a
five-star
hotel for their Valentine’s Day dances and as “clean up” band for their
Big Band
Weekend.
Following early
retirement, he returned to performance as “Dr.
Chuck,” a solo performer on saxophone, vocals, and digital keyboard. |
