Homeroom is proud to present Comfort Music on Thursdays in May at Comfort Station (2579 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647). Each evening will see a Chicago hip-hop or soul performer paired with a jazz or improv act. This free series aims to bring together musicians and audiences who rarely share the same venue while presenting two genres thriving in Chicago.

Ace da Vinci weaves R&B and jazz into rich hip-hop tapestries while rapping about self-discovery and the desire for peace-of-mind and personal and community growth.

Paul Giallorenzo is a Chicago-based improviser, composer, and producer using piano, synthesizer, keyboards, and electronics in a wide variety of groups and contexts, ranging from jazz and improvised music to electro-acoustic/noise to sound and video performance.

Peter Maunu is a veteran guitarist and violinist and was highly respected in the inner music circles of Los Angeles for session work ranging from Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Claus Ogerman, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Mark Isham to Bobby McFerrin, the Commodores, and the Pointer Sisters. After years of working LA, Maunu moved to Chicago in 2010’s and immediately immersed himself in the experimental jazz scene.
