Chicago: Jazz

Andy's 11 E Hubbard St tel 312/642-6805. Very popular with the after-work crowd; informal with moderate prices.

The Cotton Club 1710 S Michigan Ave tel 312/341-9787. A sophisticated, live-music venue and disco, it attracts a well-dressed, mellow crowd.

Green Dolphin Street 2200 N Ashland Ave tel 773/395-0066. This swanky, pricey restaurant and jazz club offers a solid line-up of regular performers.

The Green Mill 4802 N Broadway tel 773/878-5552. This place had a checkered past during Prohibition and is in the tough Uptown neighborhood, but it is one of the best - and most beautiful - rooms for local and national talent.

Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase 59 W Grand Ave tel 312/670-2473. A classy, dressy room hosts premier jazz by top names.
