JazzRochester aims at providing you with the most comprehensive listings for live jazz gigs in and around Rochester, New York. To help you find some live jazz to hear, I've gathered listings for the next seven days immediately below. After the fold you'll find gigs for the rest of March, some in April, and a growing number of special stuff beyond that (and beyond ROC).  In case you missed it, yesterday the Rochester International Jazz Festival announced its lineup for the 2025 RIJF. I'll have more later on it, but you can check it out now on their website.  

Please let me know if you've heard about any gigs that I may have missed here or if I have anything wrong  below (see the Contact Us link above to send an email if that's how you roll).  Tell your jazz-loving friends (and jazz musicians you know) about the site so they can join us here or on our other channels (you can send them to my most recent post about those channels JazzRochester . . . Fresh live jazz around ROC, served up in many ways!). Share this post with them using the buttons at the bottom.
