Swing into 2023 with some ... Live jazz around Rochester, December 29th through January 4th
Snowflakeless, but there is ... Live jazz around Rochester, NY, January 12-18

Although recovering from NYE, there is ... Live jazz in Rochester, January 5-11

Black and white Jazz signThe new year is always a little light at first as people recover from NYE. But I expect it to start building again. After the fold you will find the listings for live jazz gigs in and around Rochester for the next seven days and then some.  You'll also find listings throughout January and into February. I've also added a space for some special gigs that are even further out in 2023.

We compile these gig and event listings from information obtained from our own knowledge of the jazz scene in and around Rochester, the performing musicians and bands 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 where available in the post for more information on the gig or tickets where needed, or check out the venue's website in the right panel if there. Only music start times are listed, call the venue or visit their website for more details about when the doors open, how long the band will be playing, etc. If tickets are required there is usually a link to buy. Let me know if I have missed anything or have something wrong. If you're out at a venue, make sure they know about the site.
