Here's to the new year of ... Live jazz in Rochester, January 3-9
January 02, 2019
Now that we're heading back to work, one thing hasn't changed. There's still some live jazz in and around Rochester, New York. Not a lot this coming week, but that's to be expected after the holidays. Here's to a great 2019 (I need some of that myself...)!!!
Every Wednesday, every week, you'll find the next seven days of jazz in and around Rochester right here on JazzRochester. Sign up for our email list to get your local jazz goodness every week (plus, whatever else I publish from time to time). Check us out on social media (links at the top of the column to the right). Whatever floats your boat....
Start here, but if you hear about something that I haven't added below, please drop me a line (use the Contact Us link above), give me the deets and I'll add it. As always, let me know if any gigs below are not happening or if I got something wrong. Sh*t happens and I sometimes get it wrong.
