“He swings hard …a giant baritone that manages to be both virile and gorgeous, Marinaro infuses the essence of jazz – the imaginative phrasing, the small expressive gesture, and yes, that swing – into every interpretation.” – Neil Tesser; Examiner; author, music critic, Grammy Winner (liner notes)
The CJO will also be marking the success of their chart-topping new release, ‘MORE AMOR: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery‘. Vinyl and CDs will be sold at the event, but if you miss it, you can find it on all streaming platforms via this link: lnk.to/cjomoreamor
“It was my goal to develop the CJO into the best big band in Chicago, “rivaling other great orchestras across the country and the world.” – Jeff Lindberg, Artistic Director of the Chicago Jazz Orchestra
