Well, I was having issues Saturday morning when I was trying to post about jazz clubs in and around the Milwaukee area. Every time I would try to paste my list of jazz clubs and then hit “publish” all of the clubs would vanish save for the first two. I was also visiting with family, […]
Milwaukee is an interesting city. It is maybe, at the most, two hours from Chicago. By today’s standards, that practically makes it a suburb of Chicago, but don’t try telling that to anyone who lives or grew up in Milwaukee. It’s a great city, really, and I have been to a few towns and cities in […]
Ah, the weekend is finally here. Of course, I always kind of hated when people would say that to me on Friday morning. “Yay, it’s Friday!” they would say. “Yeah, but you still gotta get through Friday before it’s really the weekend,” I would reply. Yes, I was, and probably still am, a bit of […]
Time to take a look at the weekend that is fast approaching for the Chicago area. I am actually going to be visiting my brother and baby niece in Milwaukee this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy a fine jazz or blues show in and around the Windy City. Maybe I will check […]
I feel like I have not done enough to provide education to all of you faithful readers out there. There was a time several months ago when I used to try to do at least one article a week that was about a particular artist or area of the jazz or blues genre. People really […]
Does anyone know how the day Tuesday became the day for new releases? I remember back when I worked at a music store and every Tuesday was the busiest day of the week because it was the day when all of the new releases came in. You just hoped it was light on customers so […]
Jazz is such a great genre. I love just doing some searches online and finding new things and then sharing them with you. I also love adding things to my own agenda of things to visit and check out the next time I travel. I only just found the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and […]
A man by the name of Israel “Cachao” López has passed away. He often just went by the name of Cachao (Ka-chow) and he was a bassist. However, that would be like saying John Lennon was just a singer or Mozart was just a guy who can play piano. Cachao was the man who pretty […]
Well, the weekend is here and once again it is snowing here in Chicago. At the same time I am still fighting off the Martian Death Flu or whatever the heck it is I have. I feel like something you might have stepped on while walking through the woods or something. So, here are some […]
Well, your friendly neighborhood jazz and blues blogger apparently has come down with the flu. I have been avoiding it all winter. However, this past weekend I had to visit my grandmother in the hospital and there is no place worse to go when you want to avoid germs than a big building full of sick […]
