Free shows, everyone! Friday night it was James Brown sax man Maceo Parker and reggae with Toots the Maytals.

Tonight it's Shooter Jennings' brand of Lynyrd Skynyrd honky-tonk and the groove of Rusted Root. The fest-closing free stuff actually started late Thursday night, when Wynton Marsalis, who evidently didn't get enough of a workout at the Eastman Theatre earlier in the evening, showed up with his horn to join the Bob Sneider Trio for a whole set at the Crowne Plaza Hotel jam session. Teamed with weather forecasts for the final day today, the RIJF's best bet was the return of guitarist Bill Frisell at Kilbourn Hall. The final day's shows include the Avishai Cohen Trio at Montage, Andy Milne's Dapp Theory at High Fidelity, the Jens Winther European Quintet at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation and the Soul Rebels at High Fidelity. Friday's two shows split the difference from last Saturday's Los Lonely Boys event at the East End last weekend.

The closed-off Alexander Street and East Avenue joined the RIJF for the first time Friday night, starting with the syncopated sensibility of Rochester's excellent "IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!"

Toots was introduced by Ron Stackman, most recently of the nowdeparted Big Roots, whose former outfit Bahama Mama once opened for the Maytals, some three decades ago. The Alexander Street clubs such as the Chocolate Bar plugged in live music such as Ben Torres and Mike to draw a crowd from the street.

Lord Byron Don Byron (Cool, a black guy who early in his career was playing Jewish klezmer music!) clearly has a chip on his shoulder. "I haven't been to Rochester since I applied at Eastman, 30 years ago," the New York City native said before playing a note at Kilbourn Hall, packed again. "And I didn't get in." The eclectic-minded Byron has done well enough. Sporting a straw fedora, slightly graying beard, winter-white sport coat, blue jeans and sandals, this is a guy who clearly blows clarinet (Woody Allen he ain't) for a living.

Friday he was accompanied by pianist Jason Moran, who played Thursday at Montage, and drummer Billy Hart. Byron opened his show on tenor sax, which he attributed to an appreciation of Lester Young, the "codifier of American music," he said. But in his wide-ranging curiosity, the 48-year-old jazz player may be well on his way to codifying the American jazz experience himself.

Rochester he outMedia who bourg work from her current album, was a sweet little French ditty highlighted by the minimalist approach of just Peyroux and her guitar and the stand-up bass player. But it lacked the interplay between musicians that we've seen so much of this week. At times, they sounded as though they were struggling to find their groove.

The band as a whole seemed more comfortable on the songs like "A Little Bit" that were more rock and roll than intercontinental. It was apparent that the boys in the band really explored John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," Neil Young's "Southern Man" and Steve Earle's "I Ain't Ever Satisfied." wanted to cut loose. "(Looking for) The Heart of Saturday Night" featured more sweet, lyrical electric guitar work, too. When the skittishness faded, as it did on "I'm All Right," it was a bit of a relief. And the power and passion that fans might have expected finally kicked in toward the end of the set, on songs like "Dance Me to the End of Love." The night ended with a bit of redemption in "Don't Wait Too Long" endearing and quirky in all the right ways.
