Jim Cuomo: Chicago saxophonist, avant-garde performer, musical director, award-winning story-teller and world-renowned composer. In the day, he collaborated with the likes of Tim Hardin and Thin Lizzy, and performed on Marianne Faithfull’s album ‘Broken English’.These days, besides performing gigs with The Jim Cuomo Trio, he also makes time to mentor my son Euan with his clarinet. They play his original compositions, some jazz classics, and plenty of improvisation – a style that Jim calls “post-jazz” or “jazz different.” As he explains, “It’s a means to position it for people who need categories.” Whatever it is they do, for an hour each week, our suburban home of squabbling kids and domestic chaos seems transported to a place of intrigue and promise.
JIM CUOMO TRIO
I have been trying to make contact with Jim Cuomo for many years. According to my information, he came to South Pekin ILL in 1970 and did some recording at Golden Voice Recording Studio I recently posted the history of Golden Voice on Youtube, but I was unable to include Jim Cuomo Because I didn't have a story to include. I would till like to include him in the history, but I need something to go with my data. I did read a story written in The Westsider where he tells about attending University of Illinois and playing in the Jazz band. Any help would be appreciated.
