2023-07-15 20:00 - 22:30
Join us for a night with Chicago jazz guitar great Andy Brown as he leads a quartet featuring Mark Davis on piano, Jeff Hamann on bass, and Dave Bayles on drums. “…one of Chicago’s most appealing jazz guitarists stepped behind the bar of the Green Mill Jazz Club, climbed onto the tiny stage there and began unspooling gorgeous strands of melody…every shift in tone and dynamics that Brown offered resonated crisply through the house, the characteristic beauty of his sound matched by the textural intricacies of his solos.” – Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
