Cafe Paradiso

Cafe Paradiso Paradise, one little cup at a time. We are located on the town square! (Corner of Broadway and Main.)
(379)

Cafe Paradiso was born out of one man's pure passion for great espresso. Owner Steve Giacomini has created his own unique blend of Organic, Shade-grown, Fair trade coffee beans, which he roasts daily. This premium, ultra-fresh coffee is ground fresh for each cup to make your cappuccino, latte, mocha, or espresso. Cafe Paradiso is also a nationally recognised haven for artists and musicians. Our di

ning room displays the talents of local artists and our stage provides a chance to hear both locally and internationally known musicians of all genres.

We are excited to once again host one of Chicago’s premiere jazz artists, saxophonist Shawn Maxwell! Buckle up as they take you with them on a high energy ride through bebop, rock, hip hop, classical and fusion. The traditions of jazz form the foundation for Shawn’s music, but he builds on that with material from the music he grew up with – rock, funk, hip hop, R&B, and classical. The result, as Hrayr Attarian wrote in Chicago Jazz Magazine,“is refreshingly distinct yet recognizably Maxwellian”. He’s not intent on following any rules – or on breaking them – but on continually expanding his vocabulary of beauty.

A long time Fairfield favorite, they present all original material. Shawn Maxwell's gifts have been lauded by fellow musicians and critics alike as he's become one of the preeminent performers in Chicago jazz. As a composer, recording artist and performer, Shawn has ever endeavored to express his own unique voice. From his debut, Originals (self-released, 2005) to his latest album, Millstream (Jazzline, 2020), he has released nine albums of original compositions. The traditions of jazz form the foundation for Shawn’s music, but he builds on that with material from the music he grew up with – rock, funk, hip hop, R&B, and classical. The result, as Hrayr Attarian wrote in Chicago Jazz Magazine,“is refreshingly distinct yet recognizably Maxwellian”.
