You can catch two gigs of the Smugtown Stompers:  On Monday, April 25  we are 
at the Fairport Village Inn on 103 North Main Street, Fairport...just  north 
of the railroad tracks (yes we're the ones that play on the other side of  the 
tracks).  Time is 7-9:30PM and phone number is 388-0112 (Reservations  almost 
essential).  
 
On Tuesday, May 10 we are the Oatka Restaurant in Scottsville at 25 Main  
Street (Opposite the library).  Time again is 7-9:30PM and phone number is  
889-7350.  Main Street becomes Scottsville Road as it approaches the  City and is 
immediately adjacent to the Genesse River at Jefferson Road and the  Ballantyne 
Bridge (These will be landmarks well-known to locals.).  If you  decide to 
include a large party of people, the Oatka is recommended since it is  bigger 
and all tables are in the same room as the band.  The seating  arrangement at 
the Village Inn is more convoluted.
 
Other jazz events can be found at our local jazz radio station, WGMC-FM  90.1 
MHz.  _http://www.jazz901.org/index.cfm?content=jazzEvents_

You can also hear daily annoucements of musical events on WXXI-FM 91.5  MHz

Worthy for big band fans is Gap Mangione who appears at the Woodcliff  
Restaurant on Fridays and Saturdays.  _http://www.gapmangione.com/_ 
(http://www.gapmangione.com/)      He is an institution in this neck of the woods.
