Still at It After All These Days... Day 4 of the XRIJF

June 15, 2011

My feared illness was a no show, instead most likely the result of a local tree spewing forth its pollen, so feeling better I ventured out into the venues of the XRIJF on Monday, although decidedly subdued in consumption of beer and street meat.

From a Trio of Trios to 2 Trios and a Quintet of Trios... Second Night of the XRIJF

June 13, 2011

As I thought, on the second evening of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, my path diverged from that I set before, but it was for a good cause—just enjoying the music where I was at too much to leave. A satisfying (and much more relaxed) evening throughout, I started out at the Bill Charlap Trio's ...

June 13, 2011

German reedist Peter Brotzmann got his start in the '60s, quickly making a name for himself in the European free jazz and avant-garde music scene.

Day One of XRIJF...Haven't Learned to Relax Yet...

June 12, 2011

Great first day of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Weather was great.
