Of course, you can find some ... Live jazz in ROC, February 16-22
February 15, 2017
Here are the next seven days of live jazz in and around our fine city. I call your attention to the Bill Tiberio CD release tomorrow and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble gig on Sunday. Hope you can get out to enjoy some!
Would you like to hear more jazz outside of June? Would you like to help grow a more vibrant jazz community for live jazz here in Rochester? I'm trying to help to build one here, so please give me a hand and share this site. Find out all the ways to get you some JazzRochester goodness by checking my post laying it out for you.
As always, let me know if any gigs below are no longer happening, if I got something wrong wrong, or if you have heard of something that's not in these listings so I can add it.

We've compiled these listings from information obtained from our own knowledge of the jazz scene in and around Rochester, the performing artists themselves and other sources. The aim is to give you a one-stop place to find all your live jazz in and around Rochester. Click on the links (underlined words or phrases) where available in the post for more information on the gig. Only start times are listed, so visit or call the venue for more details (the websites for many of the venues are in the right panel). Check back as I will add any gigs I hear about after publication (look for the graphic next to the listing). Lastly, please forgive me where these listings prove to be wrong, I rely on you, the venues and the artists to let me know when we've got bad information, so don't hesitate to let us know about such departures from reality by clicking on the Contact Us link above.
