Fairport Canal Days 2022 logo image from www.fairportcanaldays.com
Fairport's Canal Days is coming soon on June 3-5. Spread out over the village of Fairport, Tim Forster and the others responsible for the music at FCD usually serve up a healthy helping of jazz from local musicians and often describe it as the "jazz festival before the jazz festival."  If you get good weather, this is a great place to hang and hear some great music and stretch those RIJF muscles a bit (it's only 3 weeks away!). So, here's the jazz during FCD:
