It's about how some organizations in Chicago are studying the economic impact of local music on their city, basically. One of the groups involved is with the University of Chicago, which is a pretty fancypants school if you didn't already know, and the other, the one leading the research, is the Chicago Music Commission, "a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting Chicago-area music worldwide."
