Chicago's Blues and Jazz Rooms Through November
Latin jazz at Le Piano on Nov 1, Mike Wheeler at Blue Chicago on Nov 12, Patricia Barber on Nov 18 and Green Mill on Nov 22.
🎸 Sunday At Le Piano
Pianist Jose Valdez plays Le Piano at 7 pm on Sunday, November 1, a Latin jazz set built around live acoustic piano. Make it the opener of the four and keep the night loose. The room is on North Glenwood Avenue in Rogers Park, so the trip north is part of the plan.
🎤 Nov 12, Blue Chicago Late Set
The Mike Wheeler Blues Band brings guest vocalist Shirley Johnson to Blue Chicago at 9 pm on Thursday, November 12. Treat it as the late slot of the four and plan the evening backwards from nine. The club is on North Clark Street in River North, and the listing gives one start time rather than a set of options.
🎹 Nov 18, Patricia Barber
Patricia Barber takes the Winter's Jazz Club stage at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, November 18, piano and voice with a jazz quartet behind her. It is the earliest evening start on this page. The room is on North McClurg Court in Streeterville.
🎷 Nov 22, Green Mill New Music
Green Mill Jazz Club hosts the Chicago Jazz Composers Collective at 3 pm on Sunday, November 22, an afternoon of original new music split between two composers or invited guests. It is the only daytime set here, and the last of the four. The club is on North Broadway.
