Scat/Rap at Green Mill

The legendary and picturesque Green Mill Cocktail Lounge just off the corner of Lawrence and Broadway in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood is known for its poetry and jazz, making it the perfect venue for flutist and word artist Janice Misurell-Mitchell.

This particular performance occurred on February 19. 2020 but is indicative of the diverse entertainment happening at locations all around the city.

Misurell-Mitchell teaches about music and politics and contemporary music at the School of the Art Institute, and this particular piece, which she describes as scat/rap, aptly reflects the intersection of these seemingly diverse disciplines.
