About the The Peter Schwendener Quartet
Peter Schwendener moved to Chicago from his native Michigan in 1979. Since then he has been part of the Chicago jazz scene, and considers it his privilege to play with such world-class artists as Art Davis, Dan Delorenzo and Phil Gratteau. Our music is mainstream jazz, which we have tried to adapt to the movie you will be enjoying tonight.

Free outside on the Comfort Station Lawn weather permitting.
If the screening is canceled there will be no makeup date.

Programmed for Comfort Station by Raul Benitez, Emily Perez, Mat Tapy and Luna Lux.
