Pretty light on the live jazz front this week ... some new arrivals on the future events portion. 

Please 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, just find out who's playing around town (and an occasional post on live jazz in ROC or jazz in general ....). 

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.

Clarissa Street Reunion on Saturday evening was a B3 jam, with Paradigm Shift, the Pat Bianchi Trio and Akiko Tsuruga's Quartet keeping the groove going for hours.

I encourage you all to come out and hear the great jazz (including a generous helping of Hammond B3...) that will be at the Clarissa Street Reunion on Saturday.  I hope to be there for much of it. Look for the Jazz@Rochester banner and say hi!

The Clarissa Street Reunion's marking its 20th Anniversary this Saturday, August 15th. Their mission is to "organize, operate, and maintain a program designated to recognize, celebrate, and perpetuate the multicultural diversity and heritage of Clarissa Street" in in the Corn Hill area of Rochester.

This year Clarissa Street Reunion has a great lineup of music, including jazz, R&B, gospel and youth stages. Of course, we're going to focus on the jazz here, but there's lots of great music. Here's the lineup at the Jazz Stage at Clarissa and Troup Street:

• 12:15-1:30 Sean Jefferson's GigantOsaurus Rex
• 1:45-3:00 Mark Cassara
• 3:15-4:30 Mark Kraszewski
• 4:45-6:00 Paradigm Shift
• 6:30-7:45 Pat Bianchi
• 8:15-9:30 Akiko Tsuruga

With this lineup there's going to be some major B3 action going on Saturday! Hope to see you there. If I can swing it I may have a table or something near the jazz stage to meet you and sign you up for the Jazz@Rochester mailing list. Look for the Jazz@Rochester banner....

I want to highlight that the former Bistro 135 has been reincarnated into Tavern 135 and we're starting to see some gigs. If you drop in there, let the management know about Jazz@Rochester. You know where to find me...
