R.I.P., Jazz Record Mart

When you’re married to a musician, you find yourself a great record store and become a frequent shopper. It takes the stress out of anniversaries and birthdays and makes the yuletide merry, all while feeding your own selfish soul. That’s why I was so devastated at the demise of Jazz Record Mart, a Chicago institution. It’s gone, gone, gone, and I’m singin' the blues.
