I decided to do some checking to see if any of my favorite jazz artists were planning on coming to town. One of my favorite current jazz performers is Wynton Marsalis. I have written about him before on this blog. If you haven’t spent any time listening to Wynton, I can’t recommend him enough. He […]
Yes, this is just an easy way to get out of writing another long and involved blog article. However, tonight, I am turning things over to you. Tonight, I am really tired, sitting here staring at a blank blog entry and wondering what the folks who stop by this blog are listening to right now. […]
It’s that time again. Yes, I am too lazy to do any actual research about musicians. I am quite overdo to write another article about one of the classical jazz musicians I love so much. This entire blog is just aching for an official Miles Davis history lesson. The problem is, that is a little […]
There is nothing quite like Christmas music. You might think that Christmas music and jazz are just mutually exclusive. Well, you would be wrong.
Back when I worked at the college radio station that played jazz, when Christmas time came around, there was a sudden proliferation of jazz CDs and records for us to play. For […]

They also provide cool information about things like Miles Davis box sets. Yes, it is […]

First off, I wanted to write to all of you great readers out there and tell you that I am most thankful on this Thanksgiving for all of you. I love writing in this blog and talking about this kind of music. It isn’t always easy. Sometimes coming up with something to write about is […]
Writing yesterday about Ramsey Lewis and his morning show on WNUA here in Chicago got me thinking about the two major types of jazz that most people probably know. Of course, like most genres of music, the various types of jazz just show what a wide and diverse and exciting genre it is.
Of course, Chip […]
I am so in love with MySpace. It is just about as big as the internet itself. Each time I go in there and do a search for Chicago Jazz, I expect not to find anything new. Every time I go, I end up finding something new.
There is a guy that is a bit of […]
