romualdo Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 what a bummer!! - I'm going to be in Chicago (from Australia) from 24-27th Sept - missed out by three weeks Chuck, can you recommend anything jazz wise (I'm partial to avant/free/improv) over that time period (not a big time frame) in Chicago Will be checking out the Green Mill Is it worth going to The Velvet Lounge?

Chuck Nessa Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) The Velvet Lounge is gone. Definitely consider going to Mike Reed's Constellation. http://www.constellation-chicago.com Edited August 24, 2017 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
