A legendary Chicago venue with a colorful history, The Green Mill Jazz Club has hosted the famous and infamous, from Frank Sinatra to Al Capone. The club began life as a Pop Morse's Roadhouse in 1907, and evolved from a favorite hangout for show business people to a speakeasy during Prohibition, and a popular jazz club in the 1940's and 50's. In more recent years it has been restored to its former opulent glory and remains a true Mecca for serious jazz fans. The Green Mill hosts its annual Chicago Gypsy Jazz Festival in October, celebrating the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt. Check out the brief video with Guitar Shop TV's Chicago correspondent Kate Anderson.
