Really freakin cold and snowy outside, some hot jazz inside (Live jazz in ROC, February 12-18, 2015)
February 11, 2015
Well, I almost have a ski-able mountain on our parkway here in the city (OK for little GI Joe skiers, but you know what I mean...). I am finding it increasingly difficult to get out to do anything. But try we must. See if you can find something to get out and warm up to this coming week below
By the way, on the 9th, the Xerox Rochester Jazz Festival announced two more headliners for the 2015 festival. Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Academy Award-winning actress and best-selling author, Jennifer Hudson will perform on Wednesday, June 24th. Grammy winning blues guitarist, songwriter and singer Gary Clark Jr. with very special guest singer, Beth Hart will be here on Tuesday, June 23d.
