According to Andy’s Jazz Club website:

"The Windy City All-Stars are organized by Russ Phillips, one of Chicago’s most versatile trombonists.  His father, Russ Sr., replaced the great Jack Teagarden with Louis Armstrong’s All Stars and now Russ keeps that tradition alive with this swinging 6-piece “Chicago Style” band.

The band features; Bobby Lewis on trumpet, a Chicago favorite multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, conductor and long-time Andy’s bandleader. Bobby’s career highlights include being musical director and featured soloist with Peggy Lee, travels with the Jack Teagarden sextet, performances with the Chicago Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony and many others.

Kim Cusack on clarinet is perhaps best known for his long association with James Dapogny’s Chicago Jazz Band and his more than thirty-five year tenure with the venerable Salty Dogs Jazz Band, Kim Cusack has also played and recorded with Gene Mayl’s Dixieland Rhythm Kings, Ernie Carson, Turk Murphy, George Brunis, and Wild Bill Davison.

Stewart Miller on bass, a native of Kentucky, moved to the area in 1988 after a 2-year stretch with the Glen Miller band. Stewart can be heard on recent recordings by Chicago’s Orbert Davis, Russ Phillips, singer/pianist Judy Roberts and trombonist Curtis Fuller.

Guitarist Andy Brown comes to Chicago from Cincinnati by way of New York City where he performed with Frank Wess, Harry Allen, Howard Alden and more. In his few short years in Chicago, Andy has become one of the busiest and highly sought after guitarists on the scene.

Bob Rummage on drums, maintains a versatile schedule of performances with a variety of Chicago Jazz ensembles, including Petra’s Recession Seven. In addition, he teaches jazz drum set and jazz combos at DePaul University.
