Jazz Showcase Earns "Best Place to Hear Live Jazz" from Chicago Magazine

We love live music and for some reason we still haven't been to the Jazz Showcase (806 S. Plymouth) in Printers Row.

Here is another reason why we need to (via Chicago Magazine):
Quieter than the Green Mill and less touristy than Andy’s, this intimate South Loop venue is a haven for die-hards. The steep cover ($20) gets you up close with performers such as the Grammy-winning bassist Esperanza Spalding and the progressive New Orleans trumpeter Nicholas Payton.
Speaking of live music that we love, Lollapalooza is apparently a very tough (and now expensive) ticket to get.  Can anyone hook your favorite blog up with a ticket or two (FYI - this is our shameless attempt to not pay out the wazoo for tickets)?
