For Jazz in the North Michigan Ave. area check out the Jazz Showcase,which has many national acts coming through usually for a week at a time,and Andy's which has more of the local artists(Like the Henry Johnson Organ Express on Wednesday nights)and they have some pretty good food as well. Also The Green Mill at Broadway and Lawrence(used to be a Capone hangout and the decor is still the same)where you can check out both national and local artists, both Kurt Elling and Patricia Barber can be heard on a regular basis when in town.For Blues there's Buddy Guys Ledgends,and Rosa's Lounge(kind of out of the way but worth it)also Blues and the Kingston Minds on Halsted St.This should keep you busy.
