I'm currently finishing a Masters degree in Improvisation at the University of Michigan, where I have had been extremely fortunate to study with Andrew Bishop, Ellen Rowe, Ed Sarath, and Geri Allen. 
My primary background before coming to U of M was in classical saxophone and music education where I studied at Central Michigan University under John Nichol and Rob Smith. I hold my classical background as a crucial development for my jazz playing. 
I've had the pleasure of spending a week with David Liebman as part of his Chromatic Harmony masterclass, as well as traveling with him to Austria as part of the International Association of Schools of Jazz. I will also be attending the Banff Centre Workshop for Creative Music, led by Dave Douglas.
I've been fortunate enough to share the stage with some of the best jazz artists around today, including: Jeff Tain Watts, Geri Allen, Robert Hurst, Sean Jones, John Fedchock, Terri Lynne Carrington, Bill Carrothers, Douglas Ewart, Karl Berger, Wadada Leo Smith, Dafnis Prieto, Graham Haynes, the Temptations, among others.
I hope to keep this page up to date with my musical journey, as who knows where it may take us! Thanks for visiting!

Hey Everyone! I'm Christopher Telford but those who know me just call me Chris or Fox. Fox Blood Maroon is sort of a stage act that i came up with because I started rapping in my free time and actually saw something with it! My sound is constantly changing but I'm just an aspiring loving musical artist who is always up for meeting new acts and people who'd like to collab! 

Music influenced by my life in Michigan and the people surrounding me.
