— Steven A Loewy, All Music Guide to Jazz

McChesney was a featured performer at the 2005 International Association of Jazz Educators Conference and recently performed the famous cornet piece “The Carnival of Venice” on slide trombone with the Idaho Falls Symphony. He is a popular guest artist at Festivals, Concert Series and Universities.
