Jazz & Blues Lounge

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 show.  I want to thank, as always, WDCB for the information below about the performances around Chicago.  There’s even a jazz festival in the suburbs to tell you about.
