The Bug Jar on Monroe Avenue remains a gritty home for punk, noise rock, and indie rock, while Abilene Bar and Lounge provides a stage for underground rock in a historic brick space. The Eastman School of Music has produced generations of jazz musicians and experimental composers who still shape the local scene. The Rochester Jazz Festival draws thousands to the East End each summer, though the city's experimental roots run year-round in converted lofts.
