Crino’s guitar playing can be seen as a stark contrast to the smooth and fluid playing that is commonly heard today — with an aggressive picking and dry tone that forces the group to rethink the standard roles of each of their instruments. These seven standards are accompanied by a reflective original written by organist/pianist Isaiah Jones Jr. titled with the mantra: That is Where I’ll be.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday, we present Chicago’s top jazz artists in a lively atmosphere, full of cocktail-shaking and spirited conversation.
