Night 4 of the CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival will be pretty eclectic as well. Although you should do you in choosing your listening preferences for the evening, if you're interested, here are the artists on my itinerary for the fourth night of the 2024 RIJF:

• Starting out with the Giveton Gelin Quartet.  I ended my 2023 Festival with Giveton Gelin and really enjoyed the set played by this young trumpeter, who hails from the Bahamas.  Might be nice to hear him earlier in the mix, so to speak. Giveton Gelin Quartet will be playing at the Montage Music Hall at 6:00 and 10:00 pm. They will also be at Max at Eastman Place on June 25th at 6:15 and 10:00 pm.
• In my 2022 wrap-up post A tonic for my soul, if not my body ... JazzRochester's 2022 Rochester International Jazz Festival, I noted that Finnish bassist Kaisa Mäensivu's Kaisa's Machine was one of the standouts that year.  The music of Kaisa's Machine is described in the NYC Jazz Record as an "Energetic bebop that could have just easily wafted out of a hole-in-the-wall NYC bar." It's more than that and should be a treat in the sonic space of Christ Church.  Kaisa's Machine will be playing the Global Jazz Now series at Christ Church at 7:3o and 9:30 pm.
• Ending the third night with Joe Lovano's Trio Tapestry, with pianist Marilyn Crispell and drummer Carmen Castaldi, is just one of many groups master saxophonist Lovano has played with, but these three musicians really sing.  Their most recent ECM record Our Daily Bread is introspective, lyrical and full of quiet power.  Trio Tapestry plays the Temple Theater at 7:00 and 9:15 pm. 

There are a couple I wish I had time to hear (or could be in more than one place at a time) and, given my choices above, you may want to choose:

• Coming out of Eastman School of Music many years ago, drummer Jared Schonig is bringing some or all of his "Two Takes" recordings back "home" this year.  These were a quintet and big band recordings that received a lot of praise.   One of the big band numbers is titled "Gibbs St.," which is affectionately known as Jazz Street during RIJF.  This is one I'm going to really miss missing (or maybe I'll get there ... who knows?).  A Producer Pick, Jared Schonig "Two Takes" is at the Theater at Innovation Square at 6:30 and 8:30 pm.
• If you're looking for some of that piano trio straight ahead groove with some funk thrown in the mix, you can't go wrong with the Jae Sinnett Trio.  If Randy Brecker is still around, perhaps there will be some Quartet action as he is part of Sinnett's Zero to 60 Quartet?  The Jae Sinnett Trio plays the Wilder Room at 6:00 and 10:00 pm and on June 25th at the Inn on Broadway at 5:30 and 7:15 pm . 

I've included links to the RIJF page for each artist where you can check out the links to their websites and to their music on Spotify. I'm currently building an RIJF 2024 Spotify playlist with a track from recent albums that I could find all my picks (and others listed). Go give it a listen. 

Later edit: Now I know to be careful when I use a previous day's post as a template for the next day. I've adjusted the intro paragraph accordingly. Plus, a couple of artists are playing in two venues over two days, so added those.
