Some of my local favorites

[Bluebrew]

Chicago has a rep for not supporting it's own very well so I am going to mention a few people I like listening to. If you pass through Chicago you can look them up. Please tell me the local guys you like where you are living.
Rich Fudoli - reeds
Bill Porter - bone
Jack Cechinni - guitar
Paul Serrano - trumpet
Bradley Parker-Sparrow -piano
Ray Bailey - reeds
The Chicago Horns

There are a lot more but I'll leave them to others to mention.
