Hi Mike, You might want to check out the Hothouse (South Loop) for good jazz and international shows. www.hothouse.net. In the next month there will be shows by 8 Bold Souls, Don Byron, David Murray, and Eddie Palmieri. The Empty Bottle also has good shows, usually with the typical Chicago groups (Vandermark) and some really good European acts (Brotzmann is playing in March). They also tend to get the better known rock/pop/folk bands like Angels of Light and Mountain Goats. Schubas and Abbey Pub are good for rock music. In the past I've seen Smog and Bright Eyes/Simon Joyner there, others like US Maple play there. And make sure to check out the free concerts at the Chicago Cultural Center. Lots of free classical, plus they have a New Music/New Millenium series, where they've hosted Steve Lacy & Mal Waldron, Fred Van Hove, Brotzmann Tentet, Gunter Baby Sommer, Carlos Zingaro, Carlos Actis Dato, Uri Caine. http://www.cityofchicago.org/Tour/CulturalCenter/ There are lots of other places too (like 3030 and the Candlestick Maker). Chicago is pretty great in all its offerings. You might want to join the Chi-improv mailing list. I can get the details for you if you're interested. Feel free to write with any other questions. Ben
