Last year he had the privilege of playing at Aretha Franklin's birthday bash with the Tito Puente Jr. orchestra.

His latest release, entitled "The Tribute," is a tribute to the Haitian earthquake victims and a trip back to his roots musically. Chardavoine is a concrete manifestation of what is called "Haitian jazz" a new genre emerging in jazz today. "The Tribute" is an eloquent testimony of this genre of music. It showcases his talents not only as an excellent musician but also as a great creative and seasoned arranger. His earlier CD, "Fifth Season", has been described as "Funky jazz that is played with soul; it's lyrical, it's instrumental, it's guitar oriented in the style of George Benson, it's lyrical in the style of Stevie Wonder."
