Of course, as I have been saying all week, the big thing going on this weekend in Chicago is the 25th Annual Chicago Blues Festival. However, there are other shows going on in and around town here in the Windy City. The weather is predicted to be very warm and humid with a […]
Well, I am a day late here. I have visions of people wandering around the jazz section of their particular music store of choice, lost, hopeless and helpless. I hope that didn’t happen to you, my faithful readers. With the death of Bo Diddley and the Chicago Blues Festival this week, my […]
The weekend is here and so is the month of June. I cannot believe that June is here, people. That means the year is already almost half over. How is that even possible? We have yet to have an actual spring yet here in Chicago.

Yet another weekend is upon us folks. Yes, time to look around town and see what’s going on as far as music for the weekend. I hear they are predicting rain as far as weather anyway, so why the heck not check out a great jazz or blues show?
I want to, […]
It is another Tuesday and that means new releases and reissues galore. Unlike last week, it seems that the record companies have plenty they want you to check out this coming week. This is, once again, from AllAboutJazz.com which is a great online magazine all about jazz (hence the name, I am gathering). […]
Well, the weekend has arrived yet again and that is a good thing. That means it is once again time to take a look around the Chicago area and see what is going on in the various blues and jazz clubs. As usual, I am also making an attempt to show you what […]
