Brave the cold ... hear some live jazz! (Live jazz in ROC, February 26th to March 4th, 2015)
February 25, 2015
Going to (try to) brave the cold and snow over the next week to get out and hear some music... been a hermit too long!
In some local news, the Rochester Music Hall Of Fame today announced its class of 2015 inductees, which will be celebrated at the Hall of Fame’s induction ceremony at Eastman Theatre on Sunday, April 26. This year's crop includes a couple of jazz artists—the great bassist Ron Carter and local pianist Gap Mangione. Congratulations!
The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival also announced this week three more Eastman Theatre: Herb Alpert and Lani Hall and the Wheels of Soul Summer Tour with the Susan Tedeschi-Derek Trucks Band and special guests Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings plus Doyle Bramhall II, and the Steep Canyon Rangers.
