Jazz on the Terrace
Friday, May 2

What better way to welcome warmer weather than with great jazz, a cocktail, and the North Side's best view of the Chicago skyline? Jazz on the Terrace is every first Friday of the month.

Female Baritone Saxophonist Juli Wood leads our Jazz series into Spring on Friday, May 2. She has entertained around the world at jazz festivals and clubs. A few of her favorites were:

Skansen Jazz and Blues fest in Stockholm; Pori Jazz in Finland; Bent J's club in Aarhus, Denmark; Elo Jazz and Blues in Oulu, Finland; and Storyville Jazz Club in Helsinki. Her home is now in Chicago where she has led her own groups at : Andy's, Green Mill, Green Dolphin St., Pete Miller's, and Katerina's. Rounding out the Trio will be journeymen Demos Petropoulos on the Hammond B-3 organ, and Andre Beasley on drums.

Then on Friday, June 6, we welcome back the Chicago Groovetet with Munich-born alto saxist Martin Preininger.
