Jeff Lindberg's Chicago Jazz Orchestra and the Count Basie Band recreate the historic Big Band Battle of 1961 in the Pritzker Pavillion, free, 6:30 PM. For more information, visit the website.
Beer & Sausage Pairing @ Map Room
Jim Javenkoski (Culinary Attaché for Unibroue) and Hot Doug (you've probably heard of him) match sausage sandwiches with six of Unibroue's Belgian-style beers at the Map Room, 1949 N. Hoyne, at 6:30 PM. Tickets ($25) are extremely limited and available only at the bar, so you should probably call first: (773) 252-7636.
