"Jazzmandan"...

Your answer to my question addressed exactly what I wanted to know: which way is "up"? In other words, in which direction on the circle of fifths am I supposed to go to find the substitution?

It sounds simple enough, unless I've misunderstood you. Thank you, sir!

Hey, I lived in Chicago until 1999, up north around Belmont and Broadway. To get my jazz kicks I'd go downtown to Joel Segal's Jazz Showcase on Balbo between Wabash and Michigan, or to the Green Mill on the North Side. For the blues it was the Checkmate Lounge on 47th St. near Drexel or Cottage Grove on the South side, Buddy Guy's place downtown somewhere around Harrison and Wabash, I think it was, and Kingston Mines in the near North area, around Halstead and...Fullerton, or was it Armitage?

If you celebrate the holidays I hope they're full of "happy" blues!
