To begin our journey, we take a trip through Chicago’s music history in the early to mid 20th century, learning how the Great Migration brought jazz and blues to the city, which in turn fostered continuous cycles of creativity that never went away. To help tell that story we talk to John Russick (Chicago History Museum), Wren Graves (Consequence of Sound), Scottie McNiece (International Anthem) and jazz veteran Jeff Parker (Tortoise).
