Artist History With roots as a classically trained trumpet and French horn player, C M’s musical vocabulary has evolved over the last 25 years to encompass many different genres, all contributing to his unique jazz style. After playing with Willie Ruff and the Yale Jazz Ensemble, as well as the Yale Symphonic Band, C M was an active musician in NYC during the 80's, playing trumpet in a Brooklyn calypso band, writing and recording many songs, and leading his own band. After a hiatus from music, he resumed composing and recording again in mid-2000.
