“Jazz90.1 and The Ontario Beach Park Program Committee are excited to continue this free concert series,” commented Rob Linton, Jazz90.1 Station Manager. “This effort is part of our goal to provide free community jazz, blues, and big band concerts year-round in Rochester. We’re honored to again have support from The Summit Federal Credit Union as our title sponsor. We look forward to seeing the community at the beach!”
