Another weekend is here. While I am planning on standing in lines and cramming into a movie theater to see The Dark Knight, you may have other plans or desire to see some live music. Thankfully, summer in Chicago is a great time for that. There is a jazz festival this weekend. […]
Jazz in Chicago (JIC) is an organization I was busy raving about just yesterday. It’s an organization dedicated to promoting jazz and jazz music in and around Chicago. They sponsors and put together and promote all kinds of jazz performances and jazz education programs. They are a very cool organization and they […]
If this works the way the Utterz people say it will, you should be able to hear my posts live from the 25th Annual Chicago Blues Festival on Saturday June 7, 2008. My posts should all be there for your listening enjoyment. The mainstage stars for June 7 are Buckwheat Zydeco, but there […]

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.
