Going to Chicago

[mandrill]

Going to Chicago this May.

Looking for good record stores, jazz & blues clubs. Got some basic info- like, Jazz Record Mart, Velvet Lounge, B.L.U.E.S., Blue Chicago.

Greatly appreciate comments from locals and other board members.

Thanks.

Check out the Green Mill if you can.

If you're into more avant-gardish things (and that scene is strong here now) this is the site to visit, though not everything listed here is in that bag:

If you're interested, I'll add some notes and recommendations where I can when it gets close to the time you'll be here; the schedule begins to fill up about a week and half ahead of the present moment.

Best City in the US, in my opinion.
