 The Chicago Metropolitan
Jazz Orchestra, now led by Jim Peterson,
is one of the Chicago area's most exciting big bands. This twenty piece
group consists
entirely of professional musicians, many of whom have toured
with Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Maynard
Ferguson, and others. Jim has recently taken over the leadership of the Band, and is honored to do so.
The CMJO has an extensive library, including many of the original arrangements the Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, and Buddy Rich Big Bands. The CD, Live and Screamin', with guest trumpet soloist Dennis Noday, was released in February 1998 by the Chicago Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra. A new CD, Labor of Love, was released in December 1999. The CMJO is also featured on the CD, Mile by Jazz Mile, which includes many Chicago jazz artists and was produced to commemorate The LaSalle Banks 1999 Chicago Marathon. The CMJO was founded by longtime jazz educator, mentor, and bandleader, Lenny King.
