Celebrating 25 years of celebrating music, Tom Kohn, Bop Arts and the Bop Shop are throwing a party!
Three new bands hit the stage at the new "Jazz Night" @ The Montage Grill...

Jazz Around Town: Celebrating live music and live jazz for nearly 7 years doesn't compare to 25, but it's a start....

I'm going to try to help Tom Kohn and the Bop Shop celebrate the 25 years of great music that he has presented to Rochester this week (I've been doing it since 2006 here, but Tom works much harder). Hope you get out there too (see my post below). Well, here are the live jazz gigs in and around Rochester that I was able to find (and there are not that many, actually...) over the next 7 days, plus some things coming up in the near future:
