There is a dearth of oral history available documenting the greatness of the Pittsburgh Jazz Tradition and Legacy.. Please feel free to add a quote of your own or words of wisdom or humor from a Pittsburgh artist that you may find of interest.

What happened to the Pgh jazz clubs?
Pgh has such a rich jazz supporting heritage.I hope it doesn't become a thing of the past.
When I've been back to visit and to sing it has been so disheartening to see fewer and fewer venues still hanging in there.
There are so many really wonderful musicians there ( of course I include singers in that category).
They need the support of each other and of the Pgh audiences and potential employers.
The city needs the positive energy that is created from showing that support.

Michele Bensen said… - Dear Devorah,
I've been meaning to respond to yoour post about Maryetta Evans. I'm sorry to say that she passed in January and I sang at her funeral. She was 96! She was my friend and fellow performer. We did several shows at the old Holiday House in Monroeville. I'm so glad I had the time with her that I had. She was my teacher and my daughter's also. I'm hoping to take some of her pictures and music, and show bills to the History Center. The Evans Family needs to be remembered here in Pittsburgh.
Hope all is well with you dear. Keep in touch.
Michele
