This weekend you can head over to our neighbors in Syracuse for the Jazz in the Square festival, an annual event that brings in some great talent and showcases local Syracuse bands and clubs. Still have to get over there and check it out at some point. If you, like me, have too much going on in Rochester to even drive the short distance to Syracuse, then there's plenty around here to check out.
