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!

Quiero dibujar un poema
en tu cuerpo desnudo
con las yemas de los dedos
partiendo desde tu nuca
Cada vertebra es un verso
con el que te canto mi amor
tus costados estribillo
de deseos muy humanos
Y escribiendo me deslizo
suavemente por tu piel
susurrando lo que escribo
para que lo sientas tambien
Al llegar a tus caderas
no puedo evitar besarlas
y entra la linea de tus gluteos
entretenerme un ratito
Acariciando esas curvas
besandolas despacito
asoma timido tu sexo
promesa de placeres deseados
Y mojando mis dedos en el
firmo el poema escrito
mientras un escalofrio
recorre todo tu cuerpo
Te giras, complacida
llena de amor y deseo
me miras convencida
de todo lo que yo siento
Y de tus labios golosos
abiertos en una sonrisa
me susurras, que tu tambien
sientes exactamente lo mismo...

We are very happy that you found us. Thank you for sharing yous art and your artistic tastes with the network. The blues is the roots of the jazz tree and is always imbedded in its expression.
Encantado de conocerle
Su cuerpo resonaba en el espejo
vertebrado en imágenes distantes:
uno y múltiple, espeso, de reflejo
reverso ahora de inmediato antes.
Entraba de anterior huida al dejo
de sí mismo, en retornos palpitantes,
retenido, disperso, al entrecejo
de dos voces, dos ojos, dos instantes.
Toda su ausencia estaba -en su presencia-
dilatada hasta el próximo asidero
del comienzo inminente de otra ausencia:
rumbo intacto de espacio sin sendero
al inmóvil azar de su querencia
¡estatua de su cuerpo venidero!
