The 11th Annual Hyde Park Jazz Festival is just three months away, which is why the annual benefit gathering was held tonight.  About 175 people showed up at the Promontory Restaurant, Bar, and Performance Space to celebrate what has become one of the top jazz festivals in the country and certainly the top one in Chicago.

Stein has been there since the beginning.  She is chief fundraiser, booster, and goodwill ambassador.  Everyone in Chicago jazz circles knows the exuberant Stein, who is seen at events throughout the City.  Like the Postal Service, wind, sleet, and snow don't slow her down.
