Yes, dear reader, there is ... Live jazz in ROC (not at the RIJF), June 20-26
June 19, 2019
You know what I'll be up to during the CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival. Please note that the Wednesday post will continue during the festival next week, but that will be where I'll try to list some of the live jazz occurring OUTSIDE of the festival around town.
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....
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.
