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!

Herb Reichert of Stereophile has reviewed our PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier. One the statements he made about our ProLogue Premium Preamplifier are: "I've listened to the PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium preamplifier at great length and carefully studied its construction. In even a very expensive system, it will not set limits on musical enjoyment. The basic design of the ProLogue Premium follows tried-and-true principles: the output stage runs in Ultralinear mode, and tubes run well below their maximum ratings. Like other products in PrimaLuna's Premium range, the ProLogue uses double 12AU7s in each channel rather than the earlier combination of 12AX7 and 12AU7. "Using the ProLogue Premium with his Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a minimonitors, HR found that it "made a tight, glorious, extremely communicative partnership—exactly as the LS3/5a forum folk said it would." He also discovered that the PrimaLuna supplied "the most impactful bass I have yet heard from the KEF [LS50]" speakers, and that the ProLogue Premium driving… This entry was posted in Algemeen info - Informations générales, PrimaLuna, PrimaLuna´s owners reviews, ProLogue Premium Series, Reviews, Technology, Versterkers - Amplificateurs and tagged PrimaLuna Tube Amplifier, Review PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Integrated Amplifier, Tube Amp, tube amplifier, Valve Amplifier. Bookmark the permalink The PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier offer a really cool looking light show in a darkened room, as the metal work is highly polished and smoothly finished. With the 120s, output was about 45 watts per channel, with useful output to 60 or maybe 70 watts in terms of musical reserve. Specifications Manual We don't want you to compare the ProLogue Premium to an integrated that sells for $2399. That's too easy. We want you to compare it to an integrated that sells for $5,000. Compare it for the things that really count. Build quality like point to point wiring. Premium parts like an Alps Blue Velvet Volume control. We say this with calm assurance: The ProLogue Premium is built better and will sound better than $5000 offerings from any of the big name brands. If you don't believe us, call PrimaLuna at 909-931-0219 and tell us what other product you are considering. We will tell you exactly HOW it is better. How can we do that?
