"Pianist Ron Perrillo's glistening right-hand lines and idiosyncratic harmonies found ideal accompaniment in Dennis Carroll's sumptuous walking bass lines and George Fludas' unstoppable swing backbeats."– Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
"[Perrillo is an] excellent but often overlooked pianist…who makes his mark with a light, steely touch and a host of distinctive chord voicings."
– Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader
One of Chicago's most talented pianists, Ron Perrillo, will bring his quintet to the Green Mill Jazz Club, 4802 N. Broadway, on Saturday, July 12, from 9PM-1AM. His band includes special guests Pharez Whitted on trumpet and Edwin Bayard on saxophone, and Dennis Carroll on bass, with Greg Artry on drums.
Ron Perrillo's gift of emotional expressiveness coupled with his outstanding piano virtuosity separates him from other artists and has gained him the respect of many jazz legends. His artistic maturity and sensitivity is especially evident in his original compositions as well as in his tasteful approach to classic jazz standards. Perrillo’s greatest strengths are his versatility and his ability to draw inspiration from all styles of contemporary music in his unique interpretation of jazz.
Perrillo has performed and toured with legends Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Von Freeman, and Woody Herman. He has backed Ira Sullivan, along with bassist Carroll and drummer Fludas, at Sullivan’s past Chicago appearances. He also has recorded with Eric Alexander, Joshua Breakstone and Paul McKee.
