Duke Ellington famously advised his listeners to "Take the 'A' Train"
whenever he played Billy Strayhorn's classic tune.
But the "A" train went "to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem," as the lyric
goes, and that didn't do much for you if you lived in Chicago.
Come Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m., however, a new Chi-Jazz El Train will
swing around the Loop, rumble up the Purple Line to Evanston and then head
back downtown -- with jazz musicians playing onboard all the while.
The performers will hold forth in one car, the music piped in live to all
the others. To ensure that everyone gets face time with the jazzmen,
passengers periodically will rotate from one car to the next.
"People ride the CTA every day to work, but we thought this would be a
good chance to take the train out of that context and put it in a
different one," says Daniel Melnick, program director of the non-profit
Jazz Institute of Chicago, which conceived the experiment.
Though architectural and historical tours have been done via the "L"
before, a Chicago jazz set on the rails may have few precedents.
"We might be breaking new ground here," Melnick says.

Guitarist Neal Alger, saxophonist Brian Gephart, and bassist Mike Arnopol
will be playing live in one car while the music is piped to the others.
"It's certainly a gig unlike any other," Alger told the Tribune's Reich.
It'll cost a lot more than the normal CTA fare to ride, however. Tickets
are $15 for the general public and $10 for Jazz Institute members.
