Weekend Events in Soggy Chicago
Well, I wanted to write about a couple of music festival that featured jazz music going on in the suburbs of Chicago this up-coming weekend. The problem I have now is that I have no idea if these events are still going on. Chicago has been hit by a week of horrible weather. Last night was the worst yet with flooding, power outages, and more. Since the events I have here are outdoor events, I have no idea if they are still going on. Bring your ponchoes.
So, I got these from the only all-jazz radio station in town, WDCB. Visit their site for lots of great jazz information and to listen online.
Jazzin’ on the Lake
