Milwaukee's classiest free concert series, Jazz in the Park, begins its 2012 season with an evening of music from one of the city's most prominent blues combos: Reverend Raven and the Chain Smokin' Altar Boys. The group plays searing, harmonica-laced electric blues in the spirit of Junior Wells and Jimmy Rogers, mixing originals with the occasional cover song. The music begins at 6 p.m., but the festivities get started at 5 p.m. with happy-hour specials. Patrons will have to buy their wine on site, though; once again, no carry-in alcohol is allowed.
