One way sign with Live Jazz written on wall

It's November 1st and I'm looking at snow falling outside my window as I write this, so I guess it's here... Not happy about that, but I live in Rochester and that just means the jazz moves inside.  

Click on the link below and you will find the listings I've gathered for live jazz in and around Rochester for the next seven days, plus listings through October and now November after the "fold." Please let me know when you hear about any gigs that I've missed here (see the Contact Us link above).  Please share JazzRochester with the people you know who love live jazz...

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 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. 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.
