Chris Flory
Biography:
In New York in the late seventies, Chris was around an impressive array of older jazz masters and played gigs with Hank Jones, Illinois Jacquet, Jo Jones, Buddy Tate, and others. Scott Hamilton began to have more frequent work for the Quartet (later quintet) including recordings for Concord Jazz and Many overseas tours. Chris was part of Scott’s group until the early nineties. Benny Goodman employed Chris in his sextet from 1978 until 1983. In the 1980’s, Chris also worked for or recorded with such departed jazz greats as Roy Eldridge, Ruby Braff, Maxine Sullivan, and Rose Mary Clooney.
Chris released his first recording as leader in 1990. In this same period he began to tour Europe under his own name and as a sideman with other bandleaders. Chris has had a lengthy association with the side pianist Judy Carmichael, begun in 1986. As part of her group, he has made several recordings, done extensive concert tours of the U.S., and played for the U.S. State Department in Singapore And China.
To date, Flory has recorded four CD’s of his own. The first two were done for the Concord Jazz label. His third CD, Word On The Street (recorded in 1996 for Double-Time Jazz) was a trio date with organist Mike LeDonne. His latest effort, Blues In My Heart (Stony Plain 2003) has paired Chris with great blues guitarist Duke Robillard, a player Chris has known and admired for over twenty-five years.
Chris Flory cites guitarists Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Bill Jennings, and Wes Montgomery as his strongest influences. His also retains great respect for the blues and rock players who first inspired him – guitarists like Albert King, B.B. King and Jimmy Hendrix.
