The aim is to give you a one stop place to find all your jazz in Rochester.The aim is to give you a one stop place to find all your jazz in Rochester. Only start times are listed, visit or call the venue for more details (the sites for many are in the right panel). Please forgive me for any discrepancies with reality and feel free to let me know what the problem is, and I'll get the corrections up on the site as soon as possible (click on the "Send an email to Jazz@Rochester" link). If you go out to hear a performance listed here, feel free to drop a comment to this post about how it went. I want to hear from you!

I managed to find the following among the growing number of karaoke and DJ "gigs" around town. Here's the next seven days of jazz in Rochester. See you all next week....

Hope to be back in Roc-cha-cha by mid-August. Until then (or about then...) here are the listings for live jazz in and around Rochester for the next seven days. By the way, I've kept open the poll I was taking about your experiences this year at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Why don't you
