Not hot enough for you? Perhaps try a different kind of heat with some of the ... Live jazz being played around Rochester, August 10-16, 2023
August 09, 2023
I'm posting this just before I go out to check out some music in town. 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 August and September (and a few beyond that to give you a heads up). In case you missed it last week, we've heard that the Astor On Main (at the Hyatt Rochester) will not be presenting music until Fall, which is why those gigs were removed during the week. Otherwise, I'm afraid it is kind of light this coming week.
Let me know when you hear about any gigs that I've missed ... and please let your friends and family know where you go to find live jazz around Rochester. Right here....
