Christopher Woitach is a jazz guitarist and composer living in Portland. He performs a wide range of jazz styles, from Dixieland to Free jazz, Ragtime to Bebop. His compositions reflect his diverse musical tastes and abilities, and combine the intricacies of Baroque counterpoint with the freedom of modern jazz.
Christopher has played with many nationally and internationally known artists, including Bernadette Peters, Rich Little, Mel Brown, and John Stowell. He regularly performs throughout the Pacific Northwest and at jazz festivals in the U.S. and Canada. He has released a number of CDs and studied in New York with the great guitarist Jim Hall. Accompanying Christopher will be John Moak on trombone, Tim Gilson on bass and Charlie Doggett on drums.
