And now for something completely different, but still the same (Live jazz in ROC, September 18-24)
September 17, 2014
I've been meaning to publish more posts on Jazz@Rochester for a long time (you'd think after 1170+ of them I'd be tired of it...), but I want to keep these listings posts "front and center" for you and was worried that the new posts would push the current listings off the page if I didn't watch it. To try to accommodate more posts, the current listings post will be featured at the top of the front page of the blog in the future. Other posts will, I hope, follow it in the ensuing 7 days. When I publish a new Wednesday jazz listings post, it will move to the top and the other will go where it belongs. So, in the future, you'll find the listings by following the "Continue reading..." link that (like below) follows the introductory stuff I usually write at the beginning of the post and it will take you to the permanent location of the page. Click on the header at top to come back home to check out the new stuff that may lurk below as well.
We'll see how it goes (and whether I indeed start posting some more...). For email and other subscribers, let me know if this causes any trouble with you getting the post (it shouldn't as I'm not changing the feeds for those).

We've compiled these listings from information obtained from our own knowledge of the jazz scene in and around Rochester, the performing artists themselves and other sources. The aim is to give you a one-stop place to find all your live jazz in Rochester. Only start times are listed, visit or call the venue for more details (the websites for many of the venues are in the right panel). Please forgive any discrepancies with reality. Let us know about such departures from reality if you can ....
I've just discovered my new favorite jazz singer: Kat Edmonson! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im4U8749u8Y
