Jazz and Blues Lounge

So, What’s Goin’ On?

by balaspa on January 30th, 2008

I have spent the entire week talking about doing things in and around Chicago when it comes to seeing live music, and, in particular, jazz and blues.  I hope that I have piqued your interest enough to maybe put Chicago on your list of cities to visit for that kind of music.  Some day, maybe a great Jazz Tour will be created for jazz fans to visit places like Chicago and St. Louis and New Orleans and other great jazz towns.

As I mentioned yesterday, a great resource for jazz and blues is public radio station WDCB which is located way out in the Western suburbs.  They cover the jazz and blues clubs that go beyond just downtown.  So, I thought I would use them to give you some information about live music in the jazz and blues scene here in Chi-town this week.
