Let the other 356 days of the year begin! ... Live jazz in Rochester, July 4-10
July 03, 2019
The Rochester International Jazz Festival is over until June 19-27 next year. Now that we've had some time to rest and recharge, there is live jazz out there to hear until then. It is still a little light as everyone else, including the musicians are also recharging, I expect.
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.
