He leads the Christopher Hoffman Quartet, MULTIFARIAM and experimental rock band Company Of Selves. Hoffman plays with saxophonists James Brandon Lewis and Michael Blake and is a longtime member of Henry Threadgill's Zooid. In his review of Hoffman's 2021 album Asp Nimbus, New York Times jazz critic Giovanni Russenello wrote, "The cellist Christopher Hoffman's unruly, unorthodox quartet moves around with its limbs loose, but its body held together". Career In 2000 Hoffman began working as an associate engineer at Chicago Recording Company while performing with such notable Chicago artists as Fred Lonberg-Holm, Vincent Davis, several theater companies and his own Aberration Quartet. Hoffman moved to New York City in 2002, starting a position as manager of production & engineering at School of Jazz (The New School).
