So, if you're not hanging with Tiger and Phil, you may want to check some jazz out perhaps? I suspect that some of our local jazz dudes and dudettes are playing around Rochester, but perhaps in private and other "limited" gigs surrounding the PGA at Oak Hill CC starting tomorrow... That's OK, don't tell me about it... I didn't want to go anyway! ;)

As we gather for our various Labor Day celebrations, check out some jazz over the Labor Day week. Here are the live gigs I found in and around Rochester over the next 7 days, although none on Labor Day (observed) itself:
I've often written these posts while visiting my father in Kansas. In a great turnaround, he and my step-mom Kay are visiting us here in Rochester. We took quite the tour of our fair city this afternoon. Paid our respects to Frederick Douglass and Susan B., had a flight at the Genesee Brewery tasting room (love that Cream Ale... really!) and walked out on the pier at Charlotte, with a white hot in Washington Square Park in the middle.
