Putting in the Pepto Bismol nights . . . John Nugent talks with City about RIJF

Recently ran across the article resulting from a July 2nd interview that Frank DeBlase over at City Newspaper did with Rochester International Jazz Festival honcho John Nugent.  There’s some interesting stuff in there on how they set the number of Club Passes each year (this year it was 3,200, which sold out early) and why the non-jazz acts are necessary (which I’ve explained elsewhere and don’t add up to that many anyway). Frank even gives us his own tally of jazz vs. non-jazz at the end.
