Info For Rochester Area Jazz Artists, Venues & Promoters . . . .

As one of the main aims of this blog is to promote the expansion of live jazz music in Rochester and its environs, I welcome the opportunity to interact with and support the many and diverse local artists who play jazz music here, and the club and restaurant owners, music promoters, and other people involved in the live music and jazz scene in Rochester.  I would like to have a continuing conversation with you in these pages and elsewhere to learn (and help my audience to learn) more about jazz in Rochester, its current state, its history, connections with other artists, and thoughts on the future of live jazz in our community. 

Join Our Email Lists for Artists & Venues/Promoters!

I would love it if you would add your name to email lists I maintain for Rochester area jazz artists and groups, or for venues presenting live jazz and others who promote it in our community.  Just click on the relevant link below to get started:

  • Click here to join JazzRochester's Jazz Artist & Group Email List
  • Click here to join JazzRochester's Venue and Promoter Email List

If you'd also like to receive an email when JazzRochester posts, including the weekly post on live jazz listings in and around Rochester, then you can do that as well by clicking here.

I will not spam you with a lot of email. Typically, I send an email each week, usually on Sunday or Monday just to remind you when I'll need gig info. Occasionally, I also send out information about new venues or information I find on the web aimed at jazz musicians or presenters in helping them with the business of being a musician.  

A Few Ground Rules

  • I will attempt to cover as much of the live jazz in Rochester and the surrounding areas by looking to a number of sources. I am also interested in gigs that are not being advertised or listed in these sources, so please let me know about them when you don't see them in these pages.  I can add them on the fly (although ones added after a post is published may not get as wide a distribution).
  • This blog is a personal journey and more in the nature of a hobby than a job (I have one of those). It is not a listing service. I reserve the right to refuse to post announcements for gigs or other information you provide. When I do this I will try to be up front with you, but please don't take it personally. It is possible that sometimes I'll just miss getting a gig into the listings post. It will happen and, when it does, it is inadvertent.  Let me know and I'll get it in as soon as possible. 
  • I am not a journalist. My goal is to let my readers draw their own conclusions about jazz and its various genres.  Sure there are players and types of jazz I prefer, but I am not the "jazz police" ... except when I am.  I try to keep that at a minimum. 
  • I want to form connections to live jazz that may be heard in all the diverse communities in Rochester. I realize that venues and the media in Rochester often ignore these communities and want to provide whatever small voice this blog can to increase the range of their voices. Please feel free to engage me through the Contact Us link found at the top of the blog if you think your voice and music is not being heard.
