There are more concerts and performances this weekend in Chicago and the suburbs. It looks to be a very nice and warm weekend, and hopefully the rest of it will be earthquake free. Still, if you are dancing in a blues or jazz club, you may not even notice it when the earth shakes. I […]
I was doing some more noodling around online and found something that NPR has put together for your fledgling jazz folks out there. You can click HERE for their “Basic Jazz Library.” It appears to be a series of articles or blogs that goes back to 2005. What struck me is that the first record […]
Just doing some surfing around this thing they call the World Wide Web and I found a couple of websites about jazz that I thought I would share with you. The strange thing is, well, that they are a bit strange. The first one is “Classic Jazz Stories” which is written and maintained by a guy […]
The weekend is almost upon us again. I can’t believe it myself. While it is supposed to rain this weekend, there is nothing better than seeing a great jazz or blues show this weekend in Chicago or the suburbs. Once again, a big thank you goes to radio station WDCB for the information below.

There’s nothing like listening to and finding the up and coming talents in an area of music. I remember attending concerts during my senior year at Webster University and hearing some great musicians playing their hearts out for their senior recitals and performances.

That’s right folks, it’s Tuesday. It also happens to be income tax day. If you are one of those people who likes to wait until the last minute to do that, well, that last minute is now. It is also new releases and re-releases day. Once again, a special thanks goes out to AllAboutJazz.com for […]

The weekend is here and, wouldn’t you know it, it is freezing and there is a chance of snow all weekend long here in the Windy City. Yes, welcome to springtime in Chicago. Still, as I have been positing all winter, there is no better time to visit your local jazz or blues club than […]
As you know, this has become the website for the group the Sad Salamanders. How did they become my new favorite group? They reached out to me and offered me free stuff. Yes, folks, I can be bought and I am not ashamed to say it. You want “ink” on this blog? Leave a comment […]
It’s hard to believe it’s Thursday already. How do the weeks go by so fast? It’s going to be Christmas again in the blink of an eye at this rate. Of course, this weekend is evidently going to be cold again around here in Chicago. So, again, it’s a good weekend to go see a […]
