Marinaro sings Ellington/Strayhorn!

If there's one artist all of us have missed seeing on our Studio5 stage it's vocalist Paul Marinaro. Paul's singular lyricism and his grasp of the stories he tells through the songs he sings is unparalleled. We are thrilled to welcome him back, and for this performance he has curated an evening of hard swinging favorites from the Ellington/Strayhorn songbook, with an all-star cast of Chicago musicians! It's hard to imagine a more pleasant, entertaining way to spend a beautiful spring evening.

Tom Vaitsas, piano
Mike Allemana, guitar
Ethan Philion, bass
George Fludas, drums
