Tomorrow night Rob Mazurek will be at the Hideout performing with Matt Lux, Joshua Abrams, Jason Adasiewicz, and John Herndon (with John Corbett DJ’ing between sets). Should be quite a show. Peter Margasak previews the concert in the Reader. I shot this picture of Mazurek in 2006 for Thrill Jockey.
Chicago cornetist Josh Berman‘s got a new record out on Delmark, and he’s playing two record release shows: one tonight at the Hideout, and another this Sunday, June 7th at the Hungry Brain. I photographed Berman in front of and inside the venerable Old Town Ale House for today’s Reader.
Legendary Chicago tenor-sax player Fred Anderson turns 80 later this month, and to celebrate, there will be a festival of concerts starting this Sunday, March 15th, at Fred’s own Velvet Lounge (there’ll be a show at The Hideout as well). More details, including artist lineup and dates, at Umbrella Music.
