You know what I'll be up to during the CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival and, if you wish, check out my festival so far here. While there is some jazz in and around Rochester, I'm afraid I wasn't provided details on too much of it. I also encourage you to check with venues before heading out to anything as things are sometimes kind of fluid during the RIJF.
Every Wednesday, every week, you'll find the next seven days of jazz in and around Rochester right here on JazzRochester. Sign up for our email list to get your local jazz goodness every week (plus, whatever else I publish from time to time). Check us out on social media (links at the top of the column to the right). Whatever floats your boat….
If you hear about something that I haven't added below, please drop me a line (use the Contact Us link above), give me the deets and I'll add it. As always, let me know if any gigs below are not happening or if I got something wrong.
