I love writing this blog. When I started, I just hoped a few folks who were devoted to, primarily, jazz would stop by and read a few things and I would have been happy. However, I have been surprised by how much this site and this blog has grown. I was delighted […]
It can be tough to write for b5media. I love this forum and this topic and I love writing for them. I think the people who work for and run b5media are great and their bloggers are some of the coolest writers out there. At the same time, sometimes I run across things I want […]
Of course, there are online methods to listen to jazz on the radio. The two best, at least for me, come from a cable company and the other from a multi-channel online radio station located right here in Chicago.
Comcast provides something called Comcast Rhapsody Radio. They have several jazz channels including a smooth jazz channel. […]
One of the best places to find great jazz and still listen to it in your car is the radio station I have written about and steal from all the time. This is the radio station WDCB located at the College of DuPage. This is is the western suburbs of Chicago. The dial number is […]
I admit, again, that I am cheating a bit here. I have written before about the struggles jazz fans in the Chicago area have when it comes to listening to jazz music. Sure, there are always iPods and CDs and such, but there is something about being able to listen to an actual radio station. […]

First off, I wanted to write to all of you great readers out there and tell you that I am most thankful on this Thanksgiving for all of you. I love writing in this blog and talking about this kind of music. It isn’t always easy. Sometimes coming up with something to write about is […]
I am so in love with MySpace. It is just about as big as the internet itself. Each time I go in there and do a search for Chicago Jazz, I expect not to find anything new. Every time I go, I end up finding something new.
There is a guy that is a bit of […]
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 […]
It has been a while since I wrote about things going on in the Chicago area as far as jazz is concerned. Thankfully, there is a cool radio station in town that has a bunch of jazz events listed and scheduled. In case you haven’t seen any of my previous posts about this, you should […]
