Artists through the years: 2002 - 2022 (PDF)
The Rochester International Jazz Festival (RIJF) in Rochester, New York, has quickly become one of the nation's most popular and most respected music festivals.
Founded in 2002 in Rochester NY, attendance at the Festival has grown each year, from 15,000 the first year to more than 208,000 in 2019, attracting music lovers from around the U.S. and the world. The 19th Edition originally scheduled for 2020 and then 2021 was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 19th Edition is being presented in June 2022.
The Festival is produced and owned by RIJF, LLC, a privately held company owned by John Nugent, Producer, and Artistic Director and Marc Iacona, Producer and Executive Director.
Nugent and Iacona consistently deliver a multi-dimensional festival with something for everyone. Nugent, a noted tenor sax player, has traveled the world with many jazz artists including Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, The Woody Herman Orchestra and The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. Iacona, a Rochester native, business and community leader, is an avid trumpeter and supporter of the arts, and is President of Simcona Electronics.
