A night at Green Mill

Green Mill is a very old Jazz bar, we didn't actually know what to expect when we arrived,
we barely knew where it was, but luckily we found it.
Green Mill is one of those clubs that haven't changed for years, to be more precise it hasn't changed since the prohibition.
We were told that Al Capone used to go there quite often, which made the place even more symbolical!

The band, Deep Blue, was made of 3 musicians, they were playing jazz during the first part and then more jazzy music.
I brought my DSLR, and as usual it caught people's attention.
First, we were sitting on the left hand side of the room, with a nice angle but a bit far to take great shots.
For some reasons, the guy who was working for the band told us that we could have the best sit, right in front of the scene!
This guy, Lobster, started to talk to us, and he invited us to a blues show on Thursday, and if we give him a ring we will get in as VIP. I'm not entirely sure of what that means, but STILL!!! first night chicago and people can see that i'm a VIP!!!!!
He told us the history of the bar, with al capone, the fact that they are very selective about who plays in that place etc.
Anyway, he introduced us to the band, who then carried on playing after the break.
The music was very nice, and you could feel that they weren't only playing it, they
were living it, they savoring every single notes they were playing and loving it!

The pianist (he wasn't a pianist cause the instrument he was playing kinda looked like the piano but wasn't...) was blind, according to Lobster only a very few very talented people could play this instrument. He had less expression on his face than the others, but it was easy to guess that he was totally into it.
The guitarist, (well i think that was a guitar) talked to us during both break, he saw us taking pics and would like us to send them to him.
I had a very good night, it was amazing how easy it is to talk to people you don't know, you get invited to events by people you've never seen before.
Rachel and I are both up to go to that event on Thursday! I believe it's gonna be a big thing, and even if it's not, at least we would have been VIP for one night in Chicago!
