Chris Burnett Biography
Chris Burnett is one of the most popular and richest Saxophone Player who was born on November 2, 1955 in United States.
Chris Burnett (born Christopher LeRoy Burnett on November 2, 1955) is an American saxophone player, composer, veteran of US military jazz bands and band leader. Born in Olathe, Kansas, Burnett’s family moved relatively frequently during his early childhood due to his father being a member of the active US military service. His sibling family lived at places such as: France, Michigan, and Colorado prior to settling permanently back home in the Kansas City metro area. His brother, Richie Pratt (March 11, 1943 – February 12, 2015), who was also a musician (Lionel Hampton, Junior Mance, Aretha Franklin, New York Jazz Quartet, Broadway, films, studios …), and the eldest sibling in his family continually served as a significant professional role model and mentor. Another notable relative is McKinley Burnett.
Burnett was first exposed to music at an early age through the piano by his mother (Violet Lorraine Burnett), and later studied vocal music through the youth choir program at his church under the direction of Nevada Rosbia. Burnett took to music intuitively and his introduction to saxophone and clarinet began through the instrumental music program at school. James R. Fuchs was his primary music teacher who also exposed him to some of the local and internationally recognized professional saxophone players like Charles Molina and Gary Foster who visited the school periodically during the early 1970s. Unable to afford college tuition, prior to graduation from high school in May 1974, Burnett auditioned for and was accepted to the music programs of both, the US Air Force and US Army bands. He has ultimately studied with numerous significant teachers and at the Armed Forces School of Music, Webster University, Columbia College (Missouri), Berklee College of Music, and American University.
Notable highlights of his military music career include: a Staff and Faculty assignment at the Armed Forces School of Music; Leading Chief Petty Officer of the NATO Band at Naples, Italy where he served as NATO Ceremonial Band Conductor, Jazz Ensemble Director, and featured soloist during performance tours which also included several television broadcasts; accepted for assignment to the West Point Military Academy Band’s Jazz Knights as a jazz alto saxophonist; accepted for assignment to the Armed Forces School of Music as a Jazz Ensemble Rehearsal Conductor; being featured at the age of 23 years, as jazz alto saxophone soloist with the Hof Symphony Orchestra (Germany) during two recorded Hauptkoncert (Main Concert) performances of the Rolf Liebermann 12-tone serial work, Concerto for Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra (comp. 1954); along with jazz performances with his quartet outside of the military jobs. He was also selected to participate in a special “Staffing for Army Bands” video teleconference that resulted in the development and implementation of management systems that continue to positively and significantly impact the modern operational functionality of US Army bands.

Burnett’s study of the Schillinger System of Musical Composition under O’tress L. Tandy from 1983–1985, has proven to be a cornerstone of his original artistic and compositional concepts. He is the 1995 5-Star Award of Merit winner of the National Federation of Music Clubs for his original composition and arrangement for big band titled, “Daedalus”. Burnett has also stated that his main concern as a performer, who is also a legitimate composer, is to present his own original music parallel to the traditions of the generations before him. He states that approaching this goal requires that one become a teacher of sorts by developing one’s own approach to the musical language – not merely to imitate the melodic and harmonic statements of the established masters as a less mature student might be satisfied to do.
Burnett remains an active and in-demand performer, composer and educator of the highest order. After the diversity of activities required by service in military bands, his applied musical activities now primarily include concerts and master classes or adjudicating at jazz festivals. Burnett’s post military bands career activities also include touring and he almost always performs in some context while visiting other geographical locations such as New York, Denver, Austin, Boston and Europe. Although he has led several groups over the years, his main group Chris Burnett Quartet (CbQ) began in 2001 and remains active. Burnett also remains active as a composer and arranger, working on personal projects, as well as, commissioned works.
