We're feeling better now ... (that there's more) (Jazz in ROC, February 5-11, 2015)
February 04, 2015
Well, things appear to be picking up on the live jazz scene around Rochester, despite the snow and cold that are holding us in their clutches. I was beginning to worry...
Lots of great stuff around, so check something out (I aim to...). As always, let me know if I missed something or have something wrong below.
Open the link below (if you're not reading this in an email) to find the live jazz in and around the ROC for the next seven days...
Later note to our email subscribers (which is about to go out): I apologize for the delay (I have been so distracted by work and other issues that the listings email didn't go out since the January 21st listings posts). I had tried something new and, obviously, it didn't work. I think I have fixed it now, but you may receive the January 28th post in addition to this one and this one is a day late.
