Jimmie Highsmith Jr. has been a driving force on the Rochester jazz/smooth jazz scene for over 10 years. He attended the Hochstein School of music as a child, graduated from the Rochester School of Arts High School, attended the prestigious Eastman School of Music and has sold thousands of CD's locally, nationally and abroad. In spite of all of this, he has never been selected to perform at the Rochester International Jazz Festival.
    We, the citizens of Rochester, NY petition the Rochester International Jazz Festival to hire Mr. Jimmie Highsmith Jr. as a performer at the 2009 Rochester International Jazz Festival.
