Our local musicians still seem to be resting after the holidays so we're pretty light in the next seven days.  Below you'll find the gig listings for live jazz being presented in and around Rochester that I've gathered for the next seven days, plus listings through the rest of January, February and a few further out in the year. 

Please let me know when you hear about any gigs that I've missed here (see the Contact Us link above). And 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. If you're a local jazz musician or venue/promoter, please sign up for the email lists I maintain for reminders and other information. You can do that through the About link at the top of the site.
