NOEL FREIDLINE AND MARIA HOWELL, Saturday in the Park, A Jazz Celebration of Chicago

They debuted as The Chicago Transit Authority, until the actual Chicago Transit Authority sued. They opted to simply shorten it to Chicago. They have become a legacy of rock, horns and hits.

Record sales top the 100,000,000 mark, and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 38 albums have been certified platinum, and the band has a total of 48 gold and platinum awards.

A classic horn band that helped define the 70’s and the 80’s, Chicago is a band with no shortage of tribute groups honoring them. Noel & Maria have gone several steps further creating a show that reinterprets and recasts Chicago’s hits in a way that showcases the breadth, depth and adaptability of their diverse and catchy repertoire.

Noel & Maria’s Saturday in the Park: A Jazz Celebration of Chicago features such re-imagined classics as “25 or 6 to 4” “Just You ‘N Me” “If You Leave Me Now” and “Colour My World”.
