With the 9th Annual Rochester International Jazz Festival getting underway tomorrow night, the streets of Rochester are about to be flooded with jazz musicians and enthusiasts. The Jazz Festival eems to get bigger and better every year; this year, club passes sold out weeks ago.  Nevertheless, individual tickets remain for many shows and there are tons of free performances, including outdoor shows on East Ave headlined by Los Lonely Boy, Booker T and the MGs, Marc Broussard, and Smashmouth.  A complete schedule can be found at the Jazzfest’s web page.  This year I’m hoping to catch some of the late evening jam sessions that bring together eclectic mixes of local and visiting performers.
