My good friend Harry and I found our work-related travel schedules aligning this week in Chicago and decided to go hear some jazz at Chicago's historic and legendary jazz club, the Green 
Mill. Only a short cab ride from downtown, and one word: WOW! Residing in beautiful, Columbus, Ohio I could only compare the interior to the Blue Danube, a Columbus landmark, but the semi-restored art deco was way cooler, especially when you know Al Capone used to hang here. The scene was awesome--we got there twenty minutes before the 9PM gig and it was pretty empty, but by the middle of the first set the place was SRO. The beer was excellent (PBR on draft, of course), and--perhaps most importantly--the music was smokin'. Chicago's own Deep Blue Organ Trio provided the excellent jazz, featuring Chris Foreman on Hammond B3. Tuesday night is currently their weekly gig at the Mill, be sure and get there early for good seat.
