His canon of original compositions and arrangements has garnered him the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a composer’s award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a Chamber Music America composer’s grant. Childs has received 17 Grammy nominations and 6 Grammy Awards (2 for Best Instrumental Jazz Album, 2 for Best Instrumental Composition, and 2 for Best Arrangement Accompanying a Vocalist). The Los Angeles Times wrote, “As a pianist, he possesses the improvisatory skills and powerful sense of swing one associates with world-class artists … Childs is an inventive composer and arranger whose efforts in those areas consistently expand the dimension of the jazz genre—and beyond.”
