For now, this list of Chicago venues featuring live Jazz music is in alphabetical order. As time permits, we may sort it into categories. All venues are within Chicago city limits, unless noted. (Venue Names in italics are outside the city.)

Note that some of these venues may feature other programming less likely to be described as Jazz -- you may want to give a call before heading out.
