August beginnings to our local jazz (Live jazz in ROC, July 30-August 5)
July 29, 2015
Get it? Well, anyway, there is some live jazz out there in the heat we're experiencing, including at the Park Ave Arts Festival down the street from where I live. Putting up the Don't Park Here/Park Here signs for my street tomorrow evening, in fact.
Help me get the word out about Jazz@Rochester. Let those you know who love hearing live jazz in and around Rochester about the site and join us here or on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. If you prefer, sign up to get the posts via email by clicking on the image of the site coming out of the envelope in the middle column. You will not get spammed (I'm lucky to get one out a week ... this one!)
After the "fold" (click the link if there is one for you) you will find the next seven days of live jazz in and around Rochester. Let me know if I missed anything. Check back later in the week for stragglers.
