2010 CHICAGO JAZZ FESTIVAL

Recommended Posts

This year's jazz festival in Chicago has been officially downsized (reduced from the usual Friday-Sunday affair to Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 4 & 5). However, there are four stages instead of three, and there are more pre-festival performances than in previous years. If you've never been, I strongly encourage you to go. This will be my 5th year in a row, and it's never failed to be a great experience. Here's the schedule:
