ETA: Just noticed that OP's timeframe has already passed. Ah well...maybe the info would be useful to others.

These are two different places.
Andy's Jazz Club is at 11 E. Hubbard close to North Michigan area.
The Chicago Jazz Showcase is at 806 S. Plymouth in the old Dearborn Station (accessed a half block South on Plymouth) and is indeed just about 2 blocks directly west of Buddy Guy's.
