Chicago Grandstand Big Band has been an integral part of Chicago‘s entertainment community for over 30 years. They have performed all over the Chicagoland area, including Joe Segal’s Jazz Showcase, FitzGerald‘s, Joe‘s Be-Bop Café, Grant Park Summer Dance, and numerous street fairs. They performed at the 25th anniversary of the Sears Tower. This band has been featured on WTTW’s “Wild Chicago,” and for many years, CGBB was the featured band at O’Hare Marriott’s New Years Eve Ball. Members of the group have performed with the Count Basie, Maynard Ferguson, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington orchestras.
