Taking my time and floating around... notes from Day 5 of the Rochester jazz festival
From chanteuse to organ grinding ... Notes from Day 6 of the XRIJF

Jazz Around Town: There is live jazz out there in Rochester beyond "Jazz Street"...

Even while the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Fest is going on downtown, there is live jazz happening throughout the Rochester area with local artists (although none of the XRIJF artists due to their contractual obligations, or so I believe). You won't find XRIJF gigs here in this post, so head on over to the lineup on the XRIJF site for that. \

Like around holidays, it is difficult to set up these listings during XRIJF. Some gigs that are regular around town disappear during the fest, but no one lets us know. Others pop up at venues in and around the festival, but not part of the festival, and we don't always hear about them. I would suggest you check with the venue or artist before heading out to these gigs and check back here as I'll add them when I can or someone lets me know about  something new. If you are an email subscriber, updates will not get sent to you, so check back. 

Here are the live gigs I found in and around Rochester over the next 7 days. If you hear of others, let me know, please:
