Chicago Skyliners Big Band
Keeping the Big Band Era Alive with a Modern Swing!
The Chicago Skyliners Big Band was formed in 1988 for the sole purpose of prolonging the musical memory of the Big Band Era. Members of the band in the early days were informed that this was not a major money making proposition, only a mission to keep Big Bands alive. A house band at FitzGeralds Night Club in Berwyn since 1991, The Chicago Skyliners Big Band following has grown to become one of the top Big Bands in Chicagoland.
Blue Birdland Jazz recording artists, besides original material, the Band features the music of Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Sammy Nestico, Stan Kenton, and Maynard Ferguson to name a few. Not your father’s big band music, the Chicago Skyliners feature contemporary arrangements of traditional big band hits. The Chicago Tribune stated, “This group consistently found the ideal tempo, style and phrasing for the scores they played.” Jazziz Magazine said, “The band has a surplus of exceptional soloists coupled with high powered ensemble playing.” Enjoy the big band swing sounds, America’s greatest contribution to world music history.

Overview
Summary
Bringing laughter to life, one caricature at a time!
Caricatures bring laughter and delight to all occasions… except perhaps to funerals, but who knows. Watching a talented artist, or Angel for that matter, create a drawing is fascinating from any perspective.
Each drawing is created by Angel with the thought that every person is unique (and that it could also be the last caricature he ever draws!)!
Angel prides himself as a family entertainer and artist. Children and adults alike enjoy the cartoons and interaction (though parents usually run for safety behind their kids when he does his Barney impression!)
Angel has entertained in hundreds of venues and drawn literally thousands of people… you’d think he’d be better at this stuff! Birthday parties, corporate events, trade-shows picnics, colleges, are just some of the venues Angel has had the pleasure of sharing his zaniness.
