Albert âChipâ Crawford, [M.Ed., BM], was recording at age fourteen and eventually attended the Berklee College of Music when soon after he began touring the USA and Europe working and/or recording with the legendary Four Tops, pianist Joe Zawinul, trumpeter Donald Byrd, Isaac Hayes, Houston Person and producer Teo Macero. He was integral in forming ââ¬ËWorkshoppeâ, a popular improvisational group.

Recently awarded the International Songwriters Competition Award for jazz and twice awarded the Jazz Composers Award, Chip plays regularly in NYC clubs. He loves teaching and is a former faculty of Duke University, NCCU, St. Augustineâs and UNC-Chapel Hill.
