Need some ... Live jazz from May 25-31? Here it is...
May 24, 2023
After the fold you will find the listings for live jazz gigs in and around Rochester for the next seven days, plus listings through the rest of May and June. Please note that the regular listings posts I do on Wednesdays will focus on those gigs outside of the Rochester International Jazz Fest toward the end of June. I'll have other coverage of the RIJF before and throughout the festival.
Let me know when you hear about things... and let your friends and family know where you go to find live jazz around Rochester. Right here....

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.
