Chuck Hedges
Recording Artist
“You've changed my life!”
Chuck Hedges, is a clarinetist whose reputation began in Chicago and has spread worldwide. He has become a favorite at jazz concerts and festivals all over the U.S. and Europe. One of his important musical associations was with Wild Bill Davison, with whom he toured extensively. His playing has always been exceptional: a warm, supple tone, long melodic lines, an infallible sense of swing and perhaps most important, an unquenchable enthusiasm for playing. After more than 40 years of dedication to the clarinet, Chuck switched full time to the Légère reed, saying that it had "changed his life."
From his home base in Milwaukee he performs with The Milwaukee Connection. He plays regularly at "The Grove" (Thursday nights) and Selens" (Friday nights).

Chuck projects a great enthusiasm and sense of swing reflective of the true joy and spirit of his mainstream jazz style. "Just for You" showcases a diverse group of musicians coming together in a truly fun musical ensemble. Chuck and The Milwaukee Connection have been working together for six years now. This is their second recording and we look forward to more. Go to www.chuckhedges.com to learn more and hear more great tracks. |
