And that's it for the 2018 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. According to organizers, more than 208,000 people made it to downtown Rochester across the festival's nine days.
If you couldn't make it this year, the XRIJF will be back June 21 through June 29, 2019.
XRIJF 2018 ran Friday, June 22, through Saturday, June 30, and CITY Newspaper was out every night of the festival, covering multiple shows — and we need some solid sleep. Scroll down for photos and reviews of around 80 separate performances from the last nine days. And let us know what thought of this year's Jazz Festival in the comment section below.
