Herbie Hancock在電子/嘻哈上的成功以及Miles Davis的復出，都在在顯示融合爵士樂於80年代並未消亡，而是與原音音樂並存。Michael Brecker的個人專輯表現，不僅象徵融合音樂家們回歸原音，更將融合爵士元素無縫融入原音之中...

起源#3：未曾駐足的融合

《對於爵士樂復興的貢獻，無人能及Wynton》

70年代的融合爵士樂，為過往的爵士樂帶來天翻地覆的變化。但原音爵士樂並未消亡，隨時等著王者歸來....

What happened to Christopher Hollyday after 1992?

After 1992, Christopher went to school and got his teaching credentials to teach High School band. He began teaching the Marching band at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, California in 1997. In 1998, Hollyday transfered to the newly built Valley Center High School (in Valley Center, California) where he currently works now (as of 2008). He teaches a Jazz Ensemble Class, followed by the school's Marching Band class in the morning.

Hollyday took a brief hiatus from teaching in the 2004-2005 school year to pursue his Masters Degree at San Diego State University. There he played with the state Jazz Band. Whether he still practices with the State Band or not is still unknown to his pupils.

Upon returning to Valley Center High in the Fall of 2005, Chirstopher Hollyday, now 35, found his once strong music program had considerably shrunk in size and support. To raise funds for the music program, Hollyday usually plays alto-sax (along with several other friends) in an annual fund-raiser event known as the Jazz Benefit Concert in Valley Center's Maxine Theater. Aside from those performances, Hollyday still plays some sporadic one-off-dates usually located in North County San Diego. Those performances, however, become rarer with each passing year.

Hollyday seems to have no plans of releasing new material but strikingly his pupils are and in broad genres of music. In 2006, one of Hollyday's Jazz Band bass players, Steven Foster, release a digital EP with his alternative band, Over Jericho, independently (which failed to chart after only selling a few hundred copies). In 2007, one of Hollyday's alto-sax pupils, Mark Luciano, played guitar on Lower Definition's Moths EP (the hardcore band's album also failed to chart but did well enough to get the band signed to Ferret Records). Around the release of Moths and before the band signed, Mark left Lower Definition. Had he not, Hollyday, a Jazz Artist, would have had a pupil signed to one of the largest Hardcore record labels in the country.

Still, Christopher's current focus seems to be with teaching. He is currently working on growing the High School's Marching Band as well as helping the school's newly revived Percussion Ensemble. Naturally, Valley Center High's Jazz Band lives strong and punches hard. Their appearance in numerous festivals around Southern California have proven that Hollyday's Jazz Band knows what's up. Their placement in competition over the years has ranked them as one of the highest in their division and the band's soloists continually bring in medals and plaques as well as other recognitions.

As of Spring of 2008 Hollyday resides in sunny Southern California and will more than likely continue to teach in the Valley Center School District.


Update from viewer:
Chris was also the jazz band director at Poway High School for three years from 2005-2008. He also continues to teach private lessons to students throughout the Poway Unified School District (schools include: Poway High School, Rancho Bernardo High, Mt. Carmel High, and Westview High).
