Pittsburgh Connection

Born and raised here in Pittsburgh. I was born a musician and crawled up to the piano at 1 and a half. My mother also sang and played and said I would kick as soon as the music went on! I did my first 'gig" at 4 and asked for the money as soon as I got done. Don't do that now! Reluctantly took piano lessons, didn't know why then but it ws partially because I discovered I had perfect pitch and could hear anything and play it back!~ So, why read anything? wrong!
I suffered thru HS, an overachiever but won an Opera Scholarship to CMU.I didn't really love Opera, so the summer b-4 school, I went on the road. There, I discovered Jazz! Improvisation was the greatest thing I had ever come across and that was it. I did have the opportunity to work with BB King, Wilson Pickett, Danny Gatton,The 4 Coins, Emily Remler, Kenny Blake and my own bands over the years. I lived in LA when my dad was diagnosed w/ Parkinson's in 2003, so I came home. He passed in 2005,but I am still here!

Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers

Nelson Harrison, Me, Gene Ludwig, Maureen Budway, Sean jones, Mark Koch, Kenny Blake, Dave Budway,Eric Suseoff, Lou stellute, John Hall, Craig King

Standy Staley

I want to tell the organizers and everyone that attended Sandy;s memorial service tonite, that I am very sorry I could not attend.,.
I have been battling a stomach virus all weekend and today was the worst day. I wanted to spare all that attended my germs!!!!

I am,however very sad at the loss of a fantastic musician and great friend. Sandy was sure a pioneer for women in jazz and I thank her for that.

I know wherever she goes, she will carry on a legacy of truly talented singers and musicians… Continue

Manners

I received a response to an email i sent to someone that I regarded as a friend. i received an answer, but this person was very rude and condescending to me and i was quite upset. i know we all do things like that when there are other things happen in in our lives that may put us in a bad mood . I have been guilty of taking it out on someone. But I try not to do this. We are all in this for a common cause and iif someone wanted my help, I would help!! Geez, it's hard try to make a living as a mu… Continue

For the Greater Good

Not that I am a die-hard Oprah fan, but I did see a show where they talked about doing things for people less fortunate and that it lowered people's blood pressure and was good karma. So, in lieu of complaining which didn't do anything but give =me a b ad rep for...complaining....I decided to use my talents for the good of others, as well as my usual gigs and recording. I am going on the "Senior Citizen, Mentally Challenged Circuit. I will be performing every other Wednesday at a school for "… Continue

Everyone just wants to be loved but some don't know how to get it, ask for it or accept it. Our calling as musicians is to move the spirits of our audience toward love whether we know them or not.

At 8:54am on March 5, 2009, Pgh Rich said…: Peace Sis. Friedland.......To answer your question "who makes the decisions" I do not know anything about the Pittsburgh Jazz Divas @ Gypsy cafe.

My post was about the up-comming Jazz Marathon @ the Holiday Inn Oakland.

That is a B-PEP event the contact person for that would be Tim Stevens.
Hope this answers your question..
