Sean Jefferson & his Quartet, including Seamus Blake, Richie Goods and Chris Ziemba, fill the Reformation Lutheran Church (you may know it from it being one of my/your favorite RIJF venues) with the complex, driving rhythms of Sean's music celebrating the release of his new CD Dreamworks on Wycliffe Gordon's Bluesback Records.

Watch for a lot of exciting music at the Reformation Lutheran Church this year. More later on that.... now to listen.

Starting out with a larger group, Tiberio begins with Miles' Kind of Blue. Later a more diminutive BTB will perform the new CD... Fewer players, not smaller in stature (or talent...).

Sounds great in the space Bill!

Still trying to get something else done during the week, but the day job and life in general keeps getting in the way. Oh well, there's lots going on over the next seven days in jazz. If you're going to sold out Jazz 90.1 evening of wine and jazz tomorrow, or Sean Jefferson's CD Release on Saturday, look for me and say hi!

Bringing you some links to break the monotony of past months...listings, listings, listings (and so on....). Given what else has happened in my life recently, I hope you understand. Here's some links I've run across recently (and not so recently...) for you to check out

• Those of you who know me know I like a good malt beverage from time to time. I'm also quite partial to Miles Davis and like some of his later forays like Bitches Brew. The folks over at National Public Radio's A Blog Supreme recently posted on their tasting of the brewery Dogfish Head's limited edition Bitches Brew Ale, a celebration of the 40th anniversary of that heady exercise in jazz improvisation. Can't wait to get a bottle or two to try it out....
• For those of you who, like me, enjoyed bassist Charnett Moffett's appearance at XRIJF 2010, my friend Donna over at the blog Elements of Jazz shared a video in July of the making of Moffett's new album Treasure. Donna's blog and Twitter stream have been a great addition to the jazz "social media" scene.
• Those who play jazz say the darndest things.... and the Jazz Quotations blog is a great place to tap into their thoughts as expressed in interviews and other writings. Check out Rochester's Paul Smoker here from the Jazz Is Dead category from an interview in City in June. I've added Jazz Quotations to my links so you can explore this rich treasure trove on your own.
• Another big draw at past RIJFs has been Bill Frisell. Here is an interview with the eclectic guitarist at BigThink.com including his thoughts on a music career inspired by the Mouseketeers, articulating ideas with music, a crash course in jazz, and why music education shouldn't be limited to the conservatory.

If you have a jazz link to share with the Rochester jazz community and beyond, send me an email by clicking on the Send an email to Jazz@Rochester link in the left panel.

If you liked the Wordle images before, check out the one I just added from Tagxedo. It is created based on what's visible on the blog (before I publish this post, though)

So, as we slip out of the summer (heck the Clothesline art festival is just around the corner), I found some jazz in and around Roch-cha-cha over the next seven days in amongst the karaoke and DJ nights. Get out and hear some! Here's what I found:
