Jazz and Blues Lounge

The Jazz and Blues Shows this Weekend

by balaspa on May 9th, 2008

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 shows are going on in the suburbs.

I have been walking on air since I found out radio station WDCB has read and maybe even regularly reads my blog. I have no idea who there does, but I think of them collectively. This is because I think WDCB is the greatest most wonderful radio station in the area. You should listen to them. No, really, you should listen to them. Don’t question, just click on the damn link and listen. Go ahead, I’ll wait….


See? They are great, aren’t they? They help me find the concerts and shows going on around town and they also play great tunes and I couldn’t do this blog without them.
