For those who are interested in hearing about the Rochester international Jazz Festival, there are the traditional media outlets, of course, and the official site's coverage. There's also the small herd of bloggers that I've been hanging around with at the festival, who have been faithfully blogging and podcasting the festival, but there are plenty of other voices and opinions out there as well.

First, there is the excellent podcasting that Jason Crane has been doing over at The Jazz Session. I've been listening to the Jazz Session podcast for a few months now, including its previous incarnation, the Jason Crane Show. It's great to have such an advocate for the RIJF, for Rochester, and for jazz getting the message out with such professionalism and poise.

Other sites of interest:

• Tracy Kroft, over at Rochester Music Scene (And Heard).
• The always interesting and intriguing Refrigerator has some cool pictures and comments about this festival as well as each of the past five.
• The City Newspaper has a blog.
• Not to be outdone, the D&C has a blog too. They seem more fun there than they do in print.
• Will Yurman's slideshow is still the best thing that the local “big media” produce.
