Let me clue you in to a winner, every night, something neat and interesting is going on at the Green Mill Lounge on Broadway, just above Lawerence Avenue (4800 block North) on Chicago's North side.
Here's the thing, WE ALL KNOW about the Lounge, we KNOW Capone used to hang out there, we KNOW that Wednesdays Kurt Elling is there, we KNOW that Patricia Barber is there on Mondays, we KNOW that the Sunday night Poetry Slam is there too.
WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW is that all the rest of the time, something spectacular is also going on there too.
If Barclay 3 is there, GO! If the Alan Gresik's Swing Shift Orchestra is there, GO! It's live, in every sense of the word. It's going sound much better than good. You're going to be close to the performers in a room full of folks jamming on the performance just as much as you are.
JUST GO!
