The first two headliners have been named for the CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival: Drummer Steve Gadd and his band will play Friday, June 21st, and ten-time Grammy winner George Benson will play Thursday, June 27th.
Gadd last performed at the RIJF in a sold-out performance in 2016. George Benson was a headliner in 2003, also a sellout.
Both shows will be in the Kodak Hall of the Eastman Theater. Tickets go on sale Friday.
