About Me:

Chip Henderson has been regularly performing in musical settings ranging from traditional Dixieland to chamber orchestras since the mid 1990's. In that time he has performed formally and informally with notable musicians such as Marvin Stamm, Frank Foster, Ernie Watts, Bill Mobley, James Williams, Donald Brown, Mulgrew Miller, Alvin Fielder, George Cartwright and Mundell Lowe.

Aside from performing with various small jazz groups and big bands in the Memphis and Nashville areas, he has appeared numerous times with the Jazz Orchestra of the Delta, the IRIS Chamber Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony, and the Jackson Symphony (TN). His ability to double on various stringed instruments has allowed Chip to work with the national touring companies of Chicago, Monty Python's Spam-a-Lot, The Lion King, High School Musical, 9 To 5, and Shrek: The Musical.

Chip currently teaches guitar at Belmont University and Tennesse State University and is also a freelance arranger for Hal Leonard's Jazz Guitar Division.
