Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue

Anything at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild. I really miss the Balcony. It was the best...it truly was. Great music, great acoustics, great food (nobody else has that baked brie, roasted peppers and roasted garlic cluster with foccocia bread anywhere!!) And who can ever forget the Balcony Big Band? They knew how to take away the Monday Blues.

About Me:

I Love Jazz.I Love World Music.I I enjoy and take pride in being a music educator for the youth in our city schools. And I truly enjoy being in the company of the phenomenal jazz musicians of our beautiful and talented Pittsburgh.

It's good to see your still active in the music industry.
Things are going really well with me.
Being Artistic Director of Jazz Workshop, Inc. is humbling and challenging but enjoyable. I've adjusted to the position and I had a great school year in 2007-2008.
Since I last saw you I've played with a lot of heavyweight jazz cats like Roy Hargrove, Jason Jackson, Terence Blanchard, Sean Jones, Duane Dolphin, Jeff Grubbs, Tony Campbell, etc.
I also play at St. Paul's Cathedral, and play with musical groups like Special Company, Puttin' On The Ritz Big Band, and Brass Impact.
I'd love to hang out with you sometime.

Also, I'm doing a Jazz Workshop, Inc. Big band Concert on Aug. 26th from 6 PM - 7:30 PM at the Wikinsburg Parklet.

Come check us out!

Take Care,
Ed Skirtich

Your presence on the network is quite important. not only have you done fine work with the youth in the public schools, esp. at the mighty Schenley, but you are evidence that women can be great horn players. We welcome you and hope to see you at Ava Lounge on Mondays between 8:30 pm and midnight where many PJN members gather and enjoy the musical atmosphere maintained by Howie Alexander and his trio with surprise guests sitting in every week.
