Fresh live jazz around Rochester for the week of November 7-13, 2024, and beyond
November 06, 2024
JazzRochester aims at providing you with the most comprehensive listings for live jazz gigs in and around Rochester, New York. For your listening pleasure, I've gathered listings for the next seven days immediately below, the rest November, and a few special items beyond that. I hope to start pulling in more December listings (assuming our local guys have the gigs... holidays are always tricky). Help me fill this in! Let me know when you hear about any gigs that I've may have missed or if I have anything wrong (see the Contact Us link above to send an email if that's how you roll). Tell your jazz-loving friends about the site so they can join us here or on our other channels.
