Parking for only $25 at the Millennium Park and East Monroe garages should be music to your ears with easy-in/easy-out access right under all the action. For directions, check out millenniumgarages.com or call 312.616.0600.

]]> Comment on Mid-Week Jazz at the Velvet Lounge by Jason http://jazzandbluesnews.today.com/2009/03/25/mid-week-jazz-at-the-velvet-lounge/#comment-383 Jason Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:46:28 +0000 http://jazzandbluesnews.today.com/2009/03/25/mid-week-jazz-at-the-velvet-lounge/#comment-383 I was about to ask when the Velvet Lounge became a Jazz club, and then I realized you weren't talking about the one in Washington, DC. I played my last gig with my old band there, and it was a great little rock venue.

]]> Comment on Some Mingus for your Monday by Jason http://jazzandbluesnews.today.com/2009/01/19/some-mingus-for-your-monday/#comment-132 Jason Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:29:59 +0000 http://jazzandbluesnews.today.com/2009/01/19/some-mingus-for-your-monday/#comment-132 Mingus was amazing, and Hatian Fight Song is quite possibly my favorite jazz song ever. The horns growling over those wicked thumping basslines make you want to fight in the streets of Port O' Prince. I think Joni Mitchell did a whole album of Mingus songs during the period when Jaco Pastorius was playing with her and the songwriting was getting more bass-centric. I've never heard it, but I've been told it has some good stuff on it. Mingus was amazing, and Hatian Fight Song is quite possibly my favorite jazz song ever.
