This just in from mi amigo maximo Ricki Derek -- Chicago jazz singer Kimberly Gordon will perform two shows next week at Ricki's Scat Jazz Lounge.

Nice. I made my first trip to Scat last weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Let's hope the crowds continue to find their way to the lounge. More jazz is always a good thing.
