I have to admit, this post is a bit of a cop-out. I am running really late today, plus, I am flying off to St. Louis tomorrow for a Super Bowl weekend dealie. Of course, Chicago is forecast to be hit with like the biggest snow storm ever in the history of the world or […]
I have spent the entire week talking about doing things in and around Chicago when it comes to seeing live music, and, in particular, jazz and blues. I hope that I have piqued your interest enough to maybe put Chicago on your list of cities to visit for that kind of music. Some day, maybe […]
Of course, if you do visit Chicago and don’t have a small fortune to spend on a place like Stub Hub for tickets to sold out shows, you can still have a great time. That’s the cool thing about a city like Chicago. We have music everywhere and there is a thriving jazz and blues music […]
I recently was writing about how Buddy Guy is performing a bunch of shows at his place, Buddy Guy’s Legends. I have been championing people going to see these shows. Buddy, sadly, is not getting any younger and while I have not heard any rumors about his health and he seems happy, hale and hearty, […]
Throughout the month I have been talking about Buddy Guy and how not only is he a living legend, but that he was playing every weekend at his club this month. If you want to see more about Buddy Guy’s Legends, you can click HERE and check out all kinds of stuff.
Well, the time is […]
Well, we have made it to another Friday. Here in the city of Chicago, it is once again frozen tundra outside my window. It’s about as cold as it can be without actually freezing matter completely solid.
So, it may be time to head out to a jazz or blues club. There are lots of great […]
I have continued to poke arond on YouTube to see if I could find any more footage of Charlie “Bird” Parker. It turns out that the stuff I posted yesterday is not exactly the ONLY existing footage of him performing live, at least from what I can see. However, the one clip that struck me […]
I am telling you that YouTube is about the greatest thing the internet has ever produced. Yes, I am male, but I am going to discount the myriad of porn available to pretty much everyone at this time. Why do I love YouTube? Because you can find just about anything on there as long as […]
So, what do you get when a writer’s schedule gets so jammed he has to try and write his jazz and blues blog entries before work and before his boss gets in? You get a lot of blog entries where he can copy huge portions from other things and places, after giving proper credit, of […]
It’s been a bit slow since the first of the year as far as new releases and re-issues for 2008. Maybe this this has something to do with the holiday thing. All of the record companies like to have the new music out before Christmas and then take a bit of a break. Now that […]
