REGINALD CHAPMAN'S CHAPHOUSE

Currently based in Brooklyn, NY (by way of Richmond, Virginia and Champaign, Illinois), REGINALD CHAPMAN thrives at a three-point intersection of preserving the classics, embracing the now, and breaking new ground towards the future. Certified with a Doctorate in Jazz, with a cognate in Modern Classical Composition and a Bachelor’s in Classical Music Performance, Dr. Reginald Chapman Jr. takes his studied technical dexterity, and filters it through his personal affinity for Hip-Hop beat tapes and experimental Electronic music, utilizing a blend of both to forge a signature sound that’s all his own. It has been that unpretentious, yet outstanding, quality to his work that has made Chapman an increasingly beloved “musician’s musician,” with a loyal following of respected peers, refined jazz appreciators, and beat-heads alike. Chaphouse is the recent Brooklyn based incarnation of his ever continuing musical journey.
