Jam Sessions Chicago

Hello all,

I'm going to be moving up to Chicago for grad school in a couple of months. I was wondering besides Andy's Jazz Club and the Green Mill if there are any jam sessions in the city or surrounding areas.

Thanks

Freddie

Late night at the Jazz Showcase, Saturday. Velvet Lounge on Sunday. I think there's a Latin jazz jam at Club BluJazz on Monday. And, Thursday at Chambers.

you can also try the late night session at the mill... but you would have to bring your upright. There is also a new session that started at Cafe Galeria on wednesday nights. My buddy Patrick Terbrack hosts it and has wonderful guests artists on a weekly basis

This list is from Chris Greene's site. I think more jams are starting to crop up because work is scarce and cats want to play. I know for a fact that few of those jams pay the house band much.

Rich Corpolongo also hosts one with his trio (Rusty Jones and Dan Shapera) once and a while at the Gallery Cabaret in Bucktown. I think the next one is July 28 at 9:30pm.

These guys are the real deal

Thanks for all the places to jam at in Chicago. I will definitely have to try to hit them all before grad school starts.

I host a monthly jam at the Music Garage. And I honestly don't care what level a musician is. It's open to who ever wants to come. One can play or just chill while taking in the positive vibe.
