These are the shows I keep circling on my branch calendar between shelving carts "” the ones that make me text a coworker "cover me, I have a set to catch." Mostly small rooms, mostly North Side, with a soft spot for anywhere that still shushes the crowd when someone takes a solo. Add your own to-go coffee at your own risk (I spilled mine at the Mill once and have never lived it down).

Jazz Nights Worth the Late Bus Home — 4 items
Name	Venue	Why I'm going
1The Bad Plus	Old Town School of Folk Music, 4544 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago	I've had their records on repeat since library school, back when I still had time to alphabetize my own shelves
2Mike Reed's Separatist Party	Constellation, 3111 N Western Ave, Chicago	Mike Reed basically keeps this whole scene running, so I show up partly out of gratitude
3Rempis / Cambrian / Abrams / Harris	Constellation, 3111 N Western Ave, Chicago	The kind of free-improv set that makes my quiet little brain go delightfully loud for an hour
4Sabertooth Organ Quartet	Jazz Showcase, 806 S Plymouth Ct, Chicago	There's a groove to a Hammond organ trio that fixes almost any bad reference-desk day
