Jazz Around Town: Almost made three nights of jazz in a row last week, but regretting what I missed ....
April 10, 2013
Although I missed the gig with 3 bands at the Montage on Friday, Hal made it and told us all about it on Saturday. As you can see below, I did make two of the three gigs celebrating Tom Kohn and Bop Shop putting on 25 years of great music (with pics here and here) Monday night's show at the store that ended with a killing set by Paul Smoker et al., whetted my appetite for more tonight at the Lovin Cup. But then reality crept in ... an early morning appointment on Wednesday, a trip to Ithaca that afternoon (unfortunately I have to be back to work on Thursday or I'd be catching Jason and Alicia Hall Moran at Cornell), and this post (which I usually write on Wed., but had to start on Tuesday to get done), plus some pretty deep fatigue on these old bones conspired to convince me that I needed to stay home instead of hearing The Engines tonight at the Lovin Cup. I'll probably regret it... as I did on Friday.
Well, we're back from Ithaca, nothing additional in the hopper, so I'm posting what I wrote last night. Here's what live jazz gigs I found in and around Rochester over the next 7 days, plus some things coming up in the near future:
