Yes, I didn't really like Sambuca much either--they were pretentious and it was definitely one of those restaurant first, music second places. I only went a few times. Strictly Tabu, while a restaurant, had a better attitude. I recollect seeing Marchel Ivery and Roy Hargrove there a number of times. The Recovery Room wasn't very picky about IDs, as I recall going there at the age of 16 or 17.

The world of dedicated jazz fandom is a small one. I believe that particular Sambuca location in Addison is not open anymore, though there are a couple of others. But they don't purport to be jazz clubs anymore. The Addison location as I recall tried to be a real jazz club for a little while after it opened--I also saw Terence Blanchard there. Owned and operated by David Grisman?

Heads of State (Gary Bartz, Larry Willis, Al Foster, David Williams), Four in One (Smoke Sessions).

I have seen dogs enter the premises but I suppose that proves nothing.

The Jazz Connection was a fairly short-lived club on Lovers Lane and Inwood. It was around in 1997 and perhaps no other year. I recollect seeing Marchel Ivery there with Joey DeFrancesco, and a guitarist I seriously disliked. The space is now a veterinary clinic. Are you possibly referring to Sambuca in Addison (there's a small plane airport in Addison)? I recollect seeing Marchel there at least one time; I believe opening for David Newman.

Is there a publication or a website (similar to New York City Jazz Record or bigapple.com) that has a fairly complete listing of upcoming jazz events in Chicago, or collects links to most of the jazz venues in Chicago?

If you scroll to the back of the linked New York City Jazz Record, there is a fairly complete day by day listing of April jazz events.

My choice would probably be Abdullah Ibrahim and Ekaya at Town Hall. http://thetownhall.org/event/thejazzepistles

Sadly, you are too late--the 8 track museum is gone--no longer a mysterious destination on Commerce Street in Deep Ellum. When I think of how many times I walked by without venturing inside, it is almost as if I just did not care.

More than a little annoying, and I wasn't able to go to the Indian classical concert this afternoon, so only live music disappointment today. But at least I got the message before I left. Once I drove to Austin to hear a Hugh Masekela/Miriam Makeba concert only to be told on arrival at the Paramount Theater that the band was stuck in Dallas; now that was annoying.
