Jazz Events in Chicago
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 check out radio station WDCB. Their website is located here and you can listen to them online. The events listed below come from the WDCB website:

Tribute to George Brown
The Maple Street Chapel Preservation Society, folk concert volunteers, and the wider folk community were saddened by loss of George Brown on July 17, 2007. George organized the concerts at the chapel for over fifteen years and was busy planning this season when he was taken from us.
The entire 2007-2008 season is dedicated to his memory.
A memorial concert will be held at a later date.

OK, that’s enough for now. Enjoy.
