PITTSBURGH JAZZ

 

From Blakey to Brown, Como to Costa, Eckstine to Eldridge, Galbraith to Garner, Harris to Hines, Horne to Hyman, Jamal to Jefferson, Kelly to Klook; Mancini to Marmarosa, May to Mitchell, Negri to Nestico, Parlan to Ponder, Reed to Ruther, Strayhorn to Sullivan, Turk to Turrentine, Wade to Williams… the forthcoming publication Treasury of Pittsburgh Jazz Connections by Dr. Nelson Harrison and Dr. Ralph Proctor, Jr. will document the legacy of one of the world’s greatest jazz capitals.

 

Do you want to know who Dizzy Gillespie  idolized? Did you ever wonder who inspired Kenny Clarke and Art Blakey? Who was the pianist that mentored Monk, Bud Powell, Tad Dameron, Elmo Hope, Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme? Who was Art Tatum’s idol and Nat Cole’s mentor? What musical quartet pioneered the concept adopted later by the Modern Jazz Quartet? Were you ever curious to know who taught saxophone to Stanley Turrentine or who taught piano to Ahmad Jamal? What community music school trained Robert McFerrin, Sr. for his history-making debut with the Metropolitan Opera? What virtually unknown pianist was a significant influence on young John Coltrane, Shirley Scott, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Timmons and Ray Bryant when he moved to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh in the 1940s?  Would you be surprised to know that Erroll Garner attended classes at the Julliard School of Music in New York and was at the top of his class in writing and arranging proficiency?

 

Some answers  can be gleaned from the postings on the Pittsburgh Jazz Network.

 

For almost 100 years the Pittsburgh region has been a metacenter of jazz originality that is second to no other in the history of jazz.  One of the best kept secrets in jazz folklore, the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy has heretofore remained mythical.  We have dubbed it “the greatest story never told” since it has not been represented in writing before now in such a way as to be accessible to anyone seeking to know more about it.  When it was happening, little did we know how priceless the memories would become when the times were gone.

 

Today jazz is still king in Pittsburgh, with events, performances and activities happening all the time. The Pittsburgh Jazz Network is dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the places, artists and fans that carry on the legacy of Pittsburgh's jazz heritage.

 

WELCOME!

Event Description

CANCELED SHOW: DUE TO LACK OF ATTENDANCE. CHECK OUT YINZIDE OUT STILL PLAYING EVERY OTHER SATURDAY AT HILLTOPPERS PUB IN TROY HILL!

The synergy at the Grove's first performance proved this needs to happen. With every beat of the drum, strum of the gueeetar, varied vocalists sweet styles, bass booms and dynamics created therein, an energy built until you couldn't help but want more.

Created by Dave Yoho (drums), each week offers Pittsburgh Live Music Network musicians (and others) the opportunity to play as the core band, else jump in and jam at varied times.

A briefing on the newly created events: Now scheduled for every Sunday at the Linden Grove in Castle Shannon, these uniquely, professionally run jams offer some of the city's most talented an opportunity to come together on one stage and bang it out!!!

THIS WEEK: DAVE YOHO (DRUMS), KEITH GAMBLE (BASS), RON VIS (GUITAR/VOCALS).

MUSICIANS, enthusiasts, promoters, fans, everyone...Put it on your schedule!!!! As word gets around, this venue could really become a great PLM (pgh live music) outlet.

The Yinzide Out SHOWCASE events are fast becoming the IN venue for local artists to "showcase" their talents!

NO COVER

HOT FOODS BUFFET: $5 all you can eat!
