  2. Can six clarinets make beautiful jazz together?

    If Chicagoan James Falzone isn't the hardest working clarinet player in jazz, he's pretty close to it.
    If Chicagoan James Falzone isn't the hardest working clarinet player in jazz, he's pretty close to it. In addition to touring with his widely admired jazz quartet KLANG and exploring Arabic music through his Allos Musica Trio, Falzone composes choral...

  3. Chicago classical music ensemble Dal Niente gets fierce

    A couple of years ago Ensemble Dal Niente trumpeted its mission as presenting "the fiercest music of recent decades." The Chicago-based group of super-musicians still focuses on championing, commissioning and performing some of the most uncompromising scores being written today, but lately has been fine-tuning its modus operandi to bring a wider spectrum of listeners into the fold.

  4. As Cabrini's row houses empty, the poor are shifted around the city

    A moving man knocked on Jacqueline Pratt's row house door Tuesday to see if she was ready to leave the ghost town.
    A moving man knocked on Jacqueline Pratt's row house door Tuesday to see if she was ready to leave the ghost town. "I'm not rushing you," the mover said, and that was good because even though this week is the exit deadline, she wasn't ready. Outside 904...

  5. Movie secrets are there, in the script!

    You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, <em>really</em> about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using guerrilla tactics and inferior weaponry. Oh, there's more here, but...

  6. Shift from Schwinn to SRAM mirrors change in bicycle business

    John Nedeau rides his bike to work when he can. He has a good bike. He's a good rider. He works for a company called SRAM. Its global headquarters on Chicago's North Side is a long way from his home in suburban Lake Bluff, but Nedeau averages about 30 mph. The cars he passes in Evanston, he almost always beats into the city.

  7. Nicholas Tremulis book 'For the Baby Doll' celebrates life and love

    It may not rank with literature's greatest opening lines &mdash; &ldquo;Call me Ishmael&rdquo;; &ldquo;It was a pleasure to burn&rdquo;; or &ldquo;Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice&rdquo;* &mdash; but the first sentences of Nicholas Tremulis' new 10-page memoir are undeniably arresting: &ldquo;When I was 4 years old, I wanted to be music. Not play it. Be it.&rdquo;

  8. A magnetic actress tackles a taboo subject in 'Unspeakable Act'

    "In the spring of 2011, at the age of 18, my brother Matthew got his first real girlfriend," says the 17-year-old protagonist of "The Unspeakable Act" in voiceover as we see her riding her bike down leafy, idyllic streets in Brooklyn. "I had somehow thought that he and I had an unspoken agreement that we belonged to each other. Which was really pretty stupid of me."

    During the past year, Chicago listeners have heard trumpeter Victor Garcia in more musical contexts than any single player could be expected to master.

  10. A degree in funny in the town that takes comedy seriously

    You can imagine the scene in thousands of family rooms: "Mom and Dad, I want to major in comedy." Silence. "Comedy? Not on our dime, you don't." To some parents, the notion of heading to Columbia College Chicago for a full-on degree program in matters...

  11. An indie brings Nick Offerman back to the Chicago area

    Whenever I find myself in a bleak mood, a quick glance at the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness usually does the trick. A near-perfect melding of minds between the "Parks and Recreation" writing staff and actor Nick Offerman, this visual guide on how to live life ("Crying: Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon") is one of the NBC show's lasting legacies.

  12. A loaded question for you: Are you happy?

    The other day, somewhat on a whim, I walked around downtown Chicago for a while and stopped random strangers and asked if they were happy. I carried a notebook and identified myself as a reporter and wrote down what they said, and though I've done my share of man-on-the-street interviews, the off-putting baldness (and boldness) of the question made me skittish.
