There’s no real wrong way to do jazz– well, except for elevator Muzak– but the Rochester International Jazz Festival is clearly doing it right. They’re returning this summer for their sixteenth town-spanning festival, and we’re showing up to bring the beer. We’re talking about over a dozen venues and an avalanche of artists, all descending on Rochester to make it the most bopping city in the country from June 23 to July 1.
The full roster was just announced and can be viewed here in one massive grid of shows. Tickets, festival passes and all the information you could ever need are over on the Rochester Jazz Festival website. Plan your trip and get ready for an unparalleled fortnight of sweet jazz.
