William Chernoff

Currently, I perform in a jazz trio with Francis Henson on guitar and Carson Tworow on drums.

I start working on my next album in 2022 with Francis and Carson, thanks to a FACTOR Artist Development grant.

My first album, Aim to Stay, released in 2020. You can buy it here or stream it here.

You’re invited to stay a while and get to know what I do, how I think, and what I’ve learned. Definitely reach out, too, so we can get to know each other a bit:

Also, I host the Will Chernoff Show, which streams exclusively on Spotify.

It’s great to have you here!

One more thing — you can back my work in a few different ways, depending on where you’re at:

• Spotify user? Subscribe to the Will Chernoff Show
• Bandcamp user? Subscribe for exclusive Bandcamp music
• In the US? Support now on Ampled Co-Op (non-US welcome too)
• Tip me (one-time)

When I have new experiences at work, I love to share them with you. I open up and give you a transparent look at real tasks, problems, and achievements in professional music life. And thank you to everyone who has taught me that way!

How I think

I’m a reader and a thinker. Are you?

• Content diet for artists: what I read, watch, & consume
  I’ve felt the pain of information overload many times. A content diet for artists is a powerful thing — it dictates how you spend your time.
• What I asked Seth Godin
  Seth Godin answered a question I asked about measuring results as a jazz musician.
• Strong Towns music: strong music scenes
  Here, I remix Chuck Marohn’s ideas into a Strong Towns music paraphrase, where it’s all about musical life.
