This week, Mike talks with Dave Jemilo! Dave owns the fabulous Green Mill in Chicago - the oldest jazz club in the US. Dave is not known as a musician but he got his start with his friends in elementary school in their band Dave Jemilo and the Gems! They never played a gig and in Dave's words, they sucked! But it was the beginning of what would lead Dave to own and run one of the foremost jazz clubs in the world.
In this engaging conversation, Dave Jemilo shares his journey from college football player to successful jazz club owner. He discusses his early experiences juggling multiple jobs, his first solo gig, and the pivotal moment when he decided to pursue a career in music and business. Jemilo reflects on the creation of vibrant jazz scenes, particularly at the Green Mill, and the evolution of live music in Chicago. He also touches on his current musical tastes and the unique experience of owning a venue that showcases top jazz talent.
