Jazz and Blues Concerts for Halloween Weekend in Chicago
The weekend is here and the temperature is chilly and it’s also Halloween weekend. Nothing better than going to see a live jazz or blues show at one of the fine establishments here in Chicago and the suburbs. The clocks get set back this weekend too, so it will be darker sooner and you might as well be in a dark jazz or blues club, right?
Radio station WDCB provides the information below. I have raved about them once this week already, but they are such a fine broadcasting establishment, they deserve two raves in a row. Check out their jazz and blues calendar and listen to the broadcast over the internet.
