***ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT HOUSING FORWARD***

Henry Carpender is a trombonist, composer, and educator based in the city of Chicago. An artist who is equally informed by his classical training, love of Jazz, and childhood playing rock music (primarily with his father John Carpender), Henry's playing and writing is a charming blend of punchy, sensitive, quirky, and dripping with love for life and self expression. Henry's dedication to music making began at age 13 when he played his first gig with the much beloved local band Expo '76. Since then, through both his education and the beginning of his professional freelance career, Henry has been fortunate enough to share the stage with Dag Juhlin, Billy Harper, Robbie Fulks, Tanya Darby, Cathy Richardson, NRBQ and the Canadian Brass. Henry has also enjoyed a healthy start to a career as a private instructor and group music educator, running a small studio of dedicated middle and high schoolers across the Chicagoland area. When he's not playing or teaching, he can be found playing video games, cooking a new dish, or relaxing on Montrose beach.

This show will be an opportunity to enjoy a mix of holiday favorites and some hearth-warming original Jazz, all for the benefit of the non-profit organization Housing Forward. All the proceeds from this show are donations to Housing Forward to help support their mission to combat homelessness in Suburban Cook County. The ensemble will feature Rufus Parenti on Tenor Sax, Mary Halm on Bass, Aval Zaucha on Keys, and Tommy Sagins on Drums.
