I took my Dad to the Green Mill on Broadway and Lawrence a couple of times.
He really liked it.  The place looks nice (inside) and there is a mixed
crowd - not too dressy, not too messy :-).  If you sit towards the back,
it's not too loud.

The act varies eack night.  You can call ahead and find out what type of
jazz they're playing the night you want to go.  We went to see Art Holde
who is in his eighties and plays Dixieland Jazz and some Blues.  A year
later he was back in town at the Green Mill and the Tribune had a big write
up on him.  I took my friends, and they loved it.

I would think you'd want a Jazz bar that features some Blues oriented
bands.  I can't imagine my parents liking any of the Blues bars.  From what
I hear Andy's is another place you might like.  There are also a couple of
really nice Jazz bars but they are a little too stuffy for me.


If your parents are really adventurous you could eat Vietnamese food near
Broadway and Argyle and DRIVE down a couple of blocks to the Green Mill.
