Making My Way Through Day 8 of the Rochester International Jazz Festival
The Kenny Barron Trio brought the hall down at Kilbourn during the first set with a mixture of standards and his own compositions. In addition to bassist Kiyoshi Kitagowa, Barron completed his trio with drummer Johnathan Blake, who I've seen perform here before with Joe Locke in 2008, and more recently at Exodus to Jazz with ...
Keeping It Light, at Least Until Tonight ... Day 7 at the XRIJF
Started the evening out with the third Rochester Jazz Festival appearance of Bill Frisell. Here with his “Beautiful Dreamers" project with Rudy Royston on drums and Eyvind Kang on violin, Frisell was what I always expect when I hear Bill Frisell ... unexpected. The opening number of the first set “began" when I noticed that Frisell ...
Short, but Sweet... Day Five of the Rochester International Jazz Festival
I'm focusing on being a responsible adult (for a couple of days at least) and Tuesday (and today) I am limiting my schedule at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival.

Still at It After All These Days... Day 4 of the XRIJF
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. Started out with the subtle mastery of guitarist Jim Hall. I loved ...
From a Trio of Trios to 2 Trios and a Quintet of Trios... Second Night of the XRIJF
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 ...
Day One of XRIJF...Haven't Learned to Relax Yet...
Great first day of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Weather was great. Managed to hear Kevin Eubanks, some of Mark Murphy's and Soweto Kinch's second sets, and Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts. Have to say that Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts will be one of my highlights from this festival (as it was the last time ...

Finding My Way Through Thursday, June 16th at the XRIJF
My Thursday of the XRIJF finds me starting out with an artist who has returned to Rochester quite a few times and ends with one who is about to leave Rochester, with some Finns, a Norwegian and Canadians in between to get my international jazz thing on. The links below on the artists' name in bold ...
D&C's "Jazz Stories" Begin for the 2011 XRIJF
Every year one of the treats that comes out of the Democrat & Chronicle's ever-growing coverage of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival is the series of photo essays by Will Yurman and the “Jazz Stories" videos. The first of those videos, by Annette Lein, was just released (I think today), with a short profile of ...
