Caleb Tolleson

Music has been a part of Caleb’s life from the age of 7, and jazz was the biggest musical influence from that age. From the time he received his very first jazz album to the multiple times he has performed many of his personal favorites, Caleb has poured a large part of his music study into jazz. In the Chicagoland area, he has taken opportunities to play and perform at Andy’s Jazz Club, The Tonic Room, the Hungry Brain, and various small events throughout the city. 

In the summer of 2017, Caleb released his first jazz album titled “Thought Process.” It featured 9 original compositions on piano and keyboards. As Caleb has pursued jazz during his time in Chicago, he often delves into jazz composition/ arranging, exploring new technologies in jazz like keyboards and synths, and lots of practicing. 

In May of 2019, Caleb graduated from Moody Bible Institute with his Bachelors of Music degree. He resides in Chicagoland, teaches on staff at Kagan and Gaines Music Co., Inc., and plays every week at multiple venues.
