I would love to tell you that I was so up on all of the jazz music scene that I could list all of the new CDs that are supposed to be coming out in the month of October and for the rest of the year. The probem is that is pretty much impossible.
You see, […]

I don’t have too much to talk about tonight. I just wanted to take a brief moment to thank, again, the people who read this blog and have taken the time to comment. Without Chip making regular comments, well, I don’t think this blog would be half as interesting as I hope it is.

I feel like maybe this blog is becoming too much of some kind of musical lecture or something rather than anything interactive. I cannot thank the people who visit this blog on a daily basis enough. However, it seems that many of you read it and then move on. Of course, the great thing about […]

I used to live right across the street from one of the most legendary blues clubs in the city of Chicago. Actually, not far, down the street, was another blues club that was just called “BLUES” and it is legendary as well. Right across the street, though, is a place called “Kingston Mines.”
