Jazz and Blues Lounge

A Nice Fall Jazz Festival

by balaspa on November 15th, 2007

For all of you who are not in Chicago, I apologize.  I love this town.  You really should visit.  If you happen to love jazz, then you really need to visit.  There is an entire vacation you can have all related to jazz if you come up here, I am quite sure.  You just have to stop at the Velvet Lounge, for example.

The cool thing is that we have jazz festivals even when it gets cold and the sky starts spitting snow.  That is the case this coming Thanksgiving weekend and I have the great jazz radio station WDCB to thank for this information.  I have written MANY times about this station before. I can’t rave about it enough.  Check out their website by clicking here.
