The late trumpet legend Clark Terry called Chicago Jazz Orchestra "The best big band in the country."

In August 1979, the ensemble was the opening band on the first night of the First Annual Chicago Jazz Festival. 45 years later, the CJO stands as not only the oldest professional big band in Chicago, but also the second oldest professional civic jazz orchestra in the United States (second only to the Columbus Jazz Orchestra).

After describing her brilliant voice as a perfect mix of Nancy, Sassy, and Lady Day, it came only naturally that the late legendary jazz trumpeter Clark Terry would, at New York’s historical Flushing Town Hall, select Denise Thimes as that night’s featured vocalist. "Denise’s performances reflect a distinct style that delights audiences with a mixture of smooth, mellow tones and rich ‘bluesy‐ness’; her scat takes audiences where jazz legends play." (Exodus To Jazz) "Denise Thimes sings with such tenderness and honesty, she has every audience in the palm of her hands. She is one of the best singers in... America." (WSIE 88.7 FM)
