Profile Information

Pittsburgh Connection: Born and raised in Pittsburgh
Father had the first recording studio (1935) and made the first recordings for Errol Garner, Billy Strahorn, Eddie Jefferson, George Benson, and many great R & B Groups such as the El Capris, Del Vikings, Marcells, El Venos etc. My father also provided Hammond Organs to the Hurricane Bar and the Rendezvous Lounge for a most reasonable rental digit. Grew up hearing many great artists in his studio and got to hear some mighty deep organ groups from the mid 1960's on by helping move the Organ and Leslie into those clubs,

I am listening to the tribute to Freddie Hubbard and looking at the discography list you sent out. VERY IMPRESIVE! It shows how serious a young man can be. Learning and doing at the same time, all the while having BIG FUN. Give me a call. Be blessed, Mensah
