By the end of the day, he had taught himself the C scale and could play several songs from the book.
He's been playing ever since. Chip is best known as the Trumpet player for Wet Willie (Hurricane Horns) and as Band Leader of The Mobile Big Band Society, but he's performed with familiar artists such as Aretha Franklin and Lou Rawls. He is also a regular studio player being heard on recordings by Eric Erdman, Donna Hall, Tom Riepl, and others.
Peoples Room regulars will sometimes recognize him as the sideman to Lisa Mills on "Sexy Muted Trumpet."
His latest efforts have focused on bringing more authentic jazz to the area. The Chip Herrington jazz quintet is an ensemble that promises to deliver something which has become very rare: real acoustic jazz in traditional club settings -- "lounge jazz," if you will.
Real jazz and The Peoples Room ... a perfect match!
