While the Eastman Theatre headliners and Club Pass shows require tickets, the 2014 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival is loaded with free concerts -- more than 80 free shows on 6 stages during the nine-day festival (June 20-28).

These concerts tend to fill up, so if you want a good spot, show up early (and remember a folding chair). For more information and schedule updates, visit the Jazz Festival's website, and follow @roccitynews on Twitter for the latest details on all things Jazz Fest.
