Jazz Around Town: At the fringe of the Fringe and beyond... there is jazz in Rochester
September 25, 2013
As the Rochester Fringe Festival winds down (admittedly, I have not been able to get to much of it) we return to our regularly scheduled programs. Looks like Buffalo is gettings some big time jazz in October/November (see the upcoming events). Where's ours?
By the way... I've launched a Google+ page for Jazz@Rochester so, if you're into that sort of stuff, check it out by clicking on the link or hitting the button in the middle column under Connect with Jazz@Rochester (it's not much yet, just getting started....).
