Chicago composer Maxx McGathey, best known for his work with Gramps the Vamp, releases his first solo album, “Imaginary Eyes,” on September 27.



We met at Roma’s (4237 N. Cicer) for Italian beef (that’s what we do here in Chicago) and talked about the mo`ie score, cool instrumental, vibes of the new album. It’s instrumental music for people who think they don’t like instrumental music.

Damager prepares to ‘rock forever or else’ (Episode 1002)

Chris Greene is one of Chicago’s A-list sax players, and his band, Chris Greene Quartet, just put out their first album in 7 years, “Conversance.”



It’s also the first-ever jazz release for long-running local indie label Pravda Records, and it’s a win for both parties.



I met Chris at Prairie Moon in Evanston - 1635 Chicago Ave, and owner Rob Strom joined us for conversation over some of the best catfish nuggets and tenders I’ve ever had. Visit Prairie Moon in person for a full menu that showcases the best of American cuisine.

Chris and I talked about “Conversance” in detail, including its accessibility to new jazz fans. We also talked about his bandmates and how the four of them make amazing music together. Rounding out the Chris Greene Quartet:



Damian Espinosa - piano and keyboards

Marc Piane - bass

Steve Corley -drums and percussion
