CHI: Jazz it Up

Labor Day Weekend in Chicago means Jazz Fest. Native Chicagoan and jazz legend Herbie Hancock kicks things off with a ticketed concert at the Symphony Center on Thursday, Aug. 30, then it's over to Grant Park for three days for free jazz — as well as other styles, naturally — by musicians ranging from Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood to Charlie Haden, Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra to the Mingus Big Band. And it's all gratis; just roll out your blanket to stake your claim on the city's front lawn and enjoy a long weekend of joyous music.

Chicago Jazz Festival, Aug. 30-Sept. 2
Chicago Symphony Center (8/30) and Grant Park, Chicago
