Hyde Park Jazz Festival Returning for Annual Celebration of Chicago’s Musical Legacy
Chicago’s history is one aspect that defines it as a premier American city. From its early days as an industrial hub to its legacy as the home of Al Capone and other notorious mobsters, few American cities can match Chicago’s unique history. One major component of Chicago’s history is its iconic music scene. Chicago has played a key role in developing genres such as blues, rock and roll, and hip hop, but the genre the city might be most famous for is jazz. Chicago’s legacy as a jazz capital is celebrated annually at the Hyde Park Jazz Festival.
