Jazz@Rochester

As the title to this post indicates, this post will be the last listings from City Newspaper at this (blog) location.

Mike Melito dropped me a line about a gig at The Clarissa Room this next Friday, September 1st, from 9:30pm to 12:30am. No cover. In addition to Mike on drums, the band includes Bob Sneider on guitar, Phil Flanigan on bass and Mike Dubaniewicz, who plays in Maynard Ferguson’s band, on alto saxophone. I’ve added Mike’s website to the local musician links (sorry, Mike…).

Here are the Rochester area jazz listings for the next 7 days, courtesy of the City newspaper. Keeping watching here; I hope to launch the “new Jazz@Rochester” before Dylan plays Frontier Field.

Although Jazz@Rochester does not often venture outside the metropolitan area, local jazz sax player Bill Tiberio’s group will be opening for smooth jazz greats The Rippingtons at the Glenora Wine Cellars “Jazz Greats” Concert. Sorry about the late notice, but the concert is tomorrow (Sunday, August 20) from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Tickets are $25. Glenora is located at 5435 Rt. 14 in Dundee, NY; 30 miles south of Thruway exit 42. You can call 800-243-5513, or purchase tickets at any Wegmans store.

This is just wrong. I’m so sorry for anyone that may be a “regular” reader of this blog, but I haven’t been doing enough with it. Part of it has been that some of the time I would spend on it has been focused on making some touches to the rebranding of the blog, which I hope to launch before the month is out. Of course, the rest of it is the usual “complaints” we in upstate Western New York have this time of year: nice weather, lots of festivals, many invites to this or that, and a general lack of enthusiasm for sitting in front of a screen typing. Some great festivals in the city this weekend (check out the City Paper’s music listings for them here), including Clarissa Street Reunion and the new Boulder festival in the Wedge. Well, here are the listings for the next seven days.
