The Chicago Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra, led by Jim Peterson, is one of the finest big bands in the country today. This twenty piece group consists entirely of professional musicians, many of whom are alumni from the bands of Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, and others. The CMJO has an extensive library of the original arrangements of the Stan Kenton Orchestra. A true, professional big band, the CMJO has been privileged to have backed such jazz luminaries as Billy Eckstein, Cab Calloway, and the Four Freshmen, to name just a few. In January 2008, and again in February 2009 the Band was the featured evening band at the Naperville Jazz Festival, where it received high praise playing before 51 schools to a standing-room-only audience. Many of the Band members are clinicians for this as well as other festivals. The CMJO was invited by the Chinese government to represent the United States at the Macau International Music Festival in Macau, China. The CMJO plays regularly at Fitzgerald's Night Club in Berwyn, as well as at other clubs and festivals in the Chicago area, around the United States, and internationally. Visit the website often to see the new dates. You are also invited to join our mailing list! The CMJO has recorded three
