OK, it is still "inside" music weather, but the festival season is just around the corner! Jazz 90.1's Spring Pledge Drive is underway and they're getting close to their $50K goal.  Help them get over the top by pledging what you can. The online auction begins on April 22nd and goes through May 3rd. Tell'em Jazz@Rochester sent you.... 

I also suggest you check out the Girls in the Band, about the women in this music, which will be one of the opening films at the High Falls Film Festival tomorrow. Read more and get tickets here.
