Winter is coming ... Live jazz in Rochester, December 7th through 13th
December 06, 2017
Couldn't resist a Game of Thrones thrown in... As you know, I try to collect as much of the live jazz in and around Rochester so you don't have to find it yourself ... right here every Wednesday in JazzRochester. Please give us a hand in helping to grow a more vibrant community for live jazz here in Rochester by sharing this post or this site with those you know who love live jazz. Share with the buttons! Sign up to receive our posts via email (there's a link at the top of the site).
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 music start times are listed, so visit or call the venue for more details about when the doors open, etc. (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.
