ROSA'S LOUNGE CHICAGO

PHOTOS IN ROSA'S LOUNGE BY KURT SWANSON

ROSA'S LOUNGE 3420 W. ARMITAGE AVE. CHICAGO,IL
CHICAGO'S FRIENDLIEST BLUES CLUB

...There is still a vibrant blues scene in Chicago, but it's not as easy to find as it once was. Perhaps the best blues club in town is Rosa's Lounge, 3420 West Armitage Avenue, run by an Italian blues drummer who couldn't resist Chicago's pull (and whose mother, Rosa, tends bar all night long). Fans sit in front under a large portrait of Vaclav Havel, or play pool in back. Schedules are at (773) 342-0452 or www.rosaslounge.com. Cover charge, $5 to $15. ~new york times

As an ex-Chicagoan living in the beautiful state of Colorado, I only get an occasional taste of authentic blues music during my visits "back home". Keep up the good work, Kurt-your photos are awesome. One comment on Melvin Taylor at Rosa's. I caught his act 2 summers ago in the company of Mr. Swanson and friends, and I was totally blown away by the cat's incredible chops. He plays like Wes Montgomery on speed. Absolutely amazing. I'll be back.
