Jazz Around Town: Have some jazz with your turkey and stuffing...
November 23, 2011
Is there anyone out there? Of course there is and despite the holiday one can find jazz in and around Rochester, although you'll be hard pressed to find a meal without turkey in it. I would check some of these with the venue before heading out as I couldn't independently confirm that all of these gigs will actually take place, especially on Thursday.
