I love this so much having grown up in the very same neighborhood and hung out with many of the folks you write about. You may not know but Carol just passed away in Door County. And I found a typo hahaha

That’s another cosmic coincidence between us. You grew up in Chicago and knew many of the people I wrote about? Amazing. Tell me more.

As far as the typo, I still don’t recognize my mistake. Duh🤪

Chicago, Chicago that wonderful town. Jazz, cheap eats, dance performances. MoMing where Sally Banes brought choreographers from the Big Apple and I met Kenneth King who I ended up performing with in NYC when I moved there

My brother lived in Chicago during those times, so I made it up there from St Louis many times, including a couple of trips specifically to see some jazz greats at Ratso's.....notably a double bill featuring Joe Henderson and Jack DeJohnette, one of the most amazing gigs I've ever seen!
