He has paid his dues on the Chicago club scene since the early 90's, playing in bands like The Trippin' Billies and Kevin O'Donnell's Quality Six, and freelanced on the city's rich jazz scene. He studied at Indiana University, home of one of the country's strongest Jazz Studies Programs, and formed his first band, Chris Greene and New Perspective, in 1994. That band performed regularly, and released two albums of what Greene calls 'electric jazz/funk/hip-hop/fusion' music, 'On The Verge' (1998) and 'jazz' (2004). In 2005 he formed his current unit, The Chris Greene Quartet (or 'CGQ'), a band that has maintained a stable roster since its inception.
