It’s been a long time coming, but I thought why limit it to what’s on my turntable?  One of the main focuses of this blog is to help promote local live jazz here in Rochester.  To that end, I’m inaugurating a new feature in the left panel "Rochester Sounds . . . " that will feature new CDs by local artists. 

I’ll try to rotate as much as possible.  Unlike the other, which is connected to the Amazon affiliate program, for these I’m going to try to link to an online source for buying the CD that will provide the artist the most return. However, in the interest of full disclosure, on some of them  if you click through and buy, I may be  a member of an affiliate program and get a bit of coin (not serious money, actual coins) for the referral.
