Showtimes: 6:00pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm
The Jim Cooper Quintet recently united in 2023 after years of performing and recording in Chicago during the 1980s and 90s. In the band is Jim Cooper on vibraphone, Art Davis on trumpet/flugelhorn, Tom Vaitsas on piano, Dan Delorenzo on bass and Phil Gratteau on drums. Their recent performances include a Tribute to Ira Sullivan at the Jazz Showcase, a Cooper composition showcase last December at the Green Mill for the Chicago Jazz Composers Collective and a 2023 fall performance at the South Haven Jazz Festival in Michigan.
The band's current repertoire pays tribute to Chicago jazz composers, selections from Cooper's six CDs, originals by Jim and arrangements of classic jazz standards.
