On the Fringe of summer (Live jazz in ROC, September 17-23)

jazz 1 way

The Fringe Festival starts on Friday. In addition to the jazz at the Fringe (check out this post as I'm not adding them below), I encourage you all to check out as much as you can of this new capstone to Rochester's summer festival season. It still feels a bit like summer here...

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 suggest they 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. 

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.
