ARMED FORCES DAY AT NAVY PIER PRESENTED BY THE USO OF ILLINOIS

of Illinois. This group of Chicago-based musicians and entertainers presents material that embodies the ideals
of the USO - respect, courage, and compassion.

of your musical palette...not just for the jazz lover in you. They take their listeners on a journey, off the well
worn path of those artists considered to be today’s cutting edge “smooth jazz,” by adding a touch of genuine old
school funk and soul into their mix.
7:30-10p Rico!:
http://www.ricojams.com http://myspace.com/ricojams1
