 Chévere Chévere is Chicago's leading Latin/Jazz/Funk/Blues Band, mixing Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Jazz, Blues, and just about everything else together into an exciting and unique collage of sound. Characterized by high voltage percussion and compelling original compositions, Chévere has performed in and around Chicago and the Midwest for 30 years. The core of the band has stayed together for over 25 years, giving the band an almost telepathic ability to interact spontaneously onstage. The band has an impressive array of virtuosic melodic soloists, and the percussion section, deeply rooted in traditional folklore and religious music from Cuba, the Caribbean, and Brazil, is heavily featured on almost every tune. They will appear at the Green Mill in Chicago on Friday, October 19th from 9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. and on Saturday, October 20th from 8:00 p.m. until midnight. Led by Alejo Poveda, the band includes Steve Eisen on saxophone, Mark Ohlsen on trumpet, Chris “Hambone” Cameron on keyboards, Howard Levy on piano and harmonica, Ernie Denov on guitar, Eric Hochberg on bass, Jean Leroi on percussion, Alejo Poveda on drums & timbales, Ruben Alvarez on timbales, and Joe Rendon on congas. |
