Hailed by the New York Times as a "dazzling" soloist and composer with a "fondness for airtight logic and burnished lyricism," Chris Dingman is one of the most sought-after vibraphonists of his generation. Schooled in the jazz tradition, yet influenced by a wide range of music and experience, Dingman draws inspiration and meaning from a diverse set of musical sources, uniting them in a progressive approach that has earned him praise for his "poignant work" David Sprague, Variety, his "adaptive humility" Nate Chinen, NY Times, and as "downright hypnotic" John Barron, All About Jazz.
His recent work as a sideman on Steve Lehman's "Travail, Transformation, and Flow," and Ambrose Akinmusire's "Prelude to Cora" has garnered the accolades of critics, audiences, and musicians alike. For each of the past two years, Downbeat Magazine has acknowledged Chris as a Rising Star on Vibraphone in the annual Critics Poll. A graduate of the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, he has performed with many of the world's greatest jazz musicians, including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, Marcus Miller, and Terence Blanchard.
