Visiting from Chicago, what are some great jazz and blues bars/clubs you recommend? Good times to be had, I know. I can't wait, I'm looking forward to this.
Edit: I'll be there this week; while I know the guide has some good suggestions, if anything particular is happening in the next 5-8 days, it'd be great to know. I wish I could have come for the Jazz Fest!

[Spotted Cat](http://www.spottedcatmusicclub.com/) on Frenchmen which will be crowded but free or [Preservation Jazz Hall](http://www.preservationhall.com/) which will cost money but you'll see some of the best Jazz in New Orleans. Frenchmen has a lot of other venues but it's a toss up whether it will be Jazz or another genre of music. Hope this helps.
