Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist Pat Martino and his trio, featuring Hammond B3 organ master Pat Bianca and drummer Carmen Entore, will appear at the Jazz Showcase on Thursday, February 28th through Sunday, March 3rd. Martino has had a prolific career in jazz that dates back to the early 1960s. He has been recording and leading his own groups since 1967. He has recorded for all of the top labels in jazz including Vanguard, Prestige, Concord, Fantasy, Warner Brothers, Polydor, Atlantic, Mainstream, and his current label, Blue Note Records. Many of Martino’s recordings are now considered classic, and all of his vinyl recordings have been reissued on CD. He has close to 30 albums out as a leader, and there would be many more if not for a life threatening illness that struck him in the mid 1970s.

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, January 11th from 9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. and on Saturday, January 12th 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,  Alejo Poveda on drums and timbales, Ruben Alvarez on timbales, and Joe Rendon on congas .
