Tuesday July 15, 7:00 - 9:00 PM, Penfield Town Hall Amphitheatre, The Rod Blumenau Sextet as part of the summer "Cool Jazz" series (4 Tuesdays in July). A great band (Brad Paxton, Peter Ferran, Jon Seiger, Gabe Condon, Jeff Campbell and Rod) plays straight-ahead swingin' jazz in a great outdoor location. Free admission, great acoustics, refreshments; barring thunderstorms, this is an ideal location to bring a lawn chair (or blanket) and enjoy some great music!
