The Rochester International Jazz Festival was held during the last week of June 2023 and highlighted dozens of groups spanning more than 100 sessions. With that much music, it could be a challenge to see—or hear—everything. During the course of three evenings, I was able to stop in-and-out of several venues and capture an informal look of everything from traditional jazz to experimental and even some rockabilly for good measure. Betwixt stops, music was also flowing on the street, either at one of several stages provided by the festival or local musicians who performed on sidewalks and in parks downtown.
