Even from childhood, picking up his first guitar meant also composing original music, an inextricable partnership that has shaped his lifelong love of the medium and, ultimately, his career as a working musician, now moving into its third decade. A native Tulsan, Combs’ musicality took equal inspiration from a handful of guitar teachers, choral directors in church choirs, and early childhood trips to visit family in New Orleans. This foundation of equal parts instrumental skill, music theory, and a curiosity for jazz music and improvisation has made Combs not only a natural bandleader but a coveted collaborator and producer across genres and styles. Shortly after joining renowned band Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey in 2007 on lap steel, he became the group’s primary composer, touring jazz festivals globally with the band and meeting and working with some of his musical heroes, including Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Tori Amos, Brad Mehldau), Steven Bernstein (Leonard Cohen, Levon Helm), Jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews), Mike Dillon (Ani DiFranco, Primus), John Medeski (Medeski, Martin, and Wood), and George Porter Jr. (The Meters). As the band’s lead composer, he wrote several new JFJO works, many of which netted glowing press in the U.S. and abroad and topped best-of lists. These include 2011’s “Race Riot Suite,” a conceptual instrumental record depicting the then-largely unknown Tulsa Race Massacre, a devastating hometown theme he revisited in 2021 as a live guitarist with many of the artists in the city’s Fire in Little Africa hip-hop collective.While touring with JFJO, Combs received a commission to compose one hour of music for a 14-piece jazz ensemble in Switzerland, with the resulting performance met with such acclaim that he was invited back to do the same just two years later. It’s one small example of how Combs’ mind can endlessly scale: he routinely writes, records, and produces music as a solo artist or in any number of configurations and with any number of musical colleagues. Storied Chicago-based jazz and blues magazine DownBeat named him a Rising Star instrumentalist in its Critics’ Poll in both 2022 and 2023, in the last year has put out releases Run Down the Ghost, In Worth And Weight, and In The Light as Chris Combs proper, recorded with Aaron Boehler on bass (Wilderado) and Josh Raymer (JFJO) on drums. Combs kicked off 2025 performing, writing, and recording in NOLA with a legendary group of his heroes including Steven Bernstein, Skerik, Brian Hass and many more. His trio has been blazing through the midwest and there are multiple releases, videos, collaborations, and extensive tours in the works for 2025 and 2026. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/5aac9d40-b14f-11f0-9890-cbc9f6533a5f-rimg-w740-h740-dcbd4c14-gmir.jpg Duo CataclysmaDuo Cataclysma is the electro-acoustic duo of Jeff Kaiser (trumpet, flugelhorn, and laptop/electronics) and Seth Andrew Davis (electric guitar, laptop/electronics).
