Tickets on sale Friday, October 30 at noon!The Chicago Jazz Orchestra and vocalist Paul Marinaro team up to perform your favorite holiday songs and jazz standards.
The show is returning for the second year in a row after their popular performance last year, and once again, audiences can expect to hear beloved Christmas songs in the style of jazz greats such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and more, performed by vocalist Paul Marinaro and backed by a 17-
piece big band.
The Chicago Jazz Orchestra is Chicago’s premiere professional jazz orchestra and the second-oldest professional civic jazz orchestra in the country. Founded in 1978 by Jeff Lindberg and the late Steve
Jensen, the Jazz Members Big Band became the Chicago Jazz Orchestra in 1999. Known for its large, lush, swinging sound, the CJO is dedicated to performing music of the big band era, including music by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and more.
Paul Marinaro, dubbed as having "one of the most beautiful vocal instruments in the business today" by Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune, is a modern classic. With Chicago as his home base, Paul has become one of the most in-demand and respected male vocalists and has "taken his place among the top five male jazz singers active today." (Scott Yanow, LA Jazz Scene) Marinaro is praised for his phrasing, keen jazz-influenced sensibilities and swing, and his deep emotional connection to lyrics.
