Trombonist Makes Triumphant Chicago Return

Chicago Tribune

Chicago and Jazz fit together like peas in a pod, and the return of one of Chicago's key members of the Jazz scene, Trombonist Jeb Bishop, to celebrate his 50th birthday at the green mill not to mention his five year anniversary, nothing could be more appropriate than one amazing concert to bring it all together.

Trombonist Jeb Bishop has been a key player on Chicago's avant-garde jazz scene for the past two decades, working prolifically with such similarly indispensable figures as reedists Ken Vandermark and Dave Rempis, guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Kent Kessler.

So unless you're paying extremely close attention, you might not even have noticed that Bishop left town earlier this year, moving with his wife, Jaki Cellini, to North Carolina, where they're both originally from.
