Pittsburgh Connection
Attended PITT from 1975 to 1979. My son went to ICM school of business downtown and remained in the area.
Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers
Stanley T, George Benson, Ahmad Jamal, Art Blakey, Roy Eldridge, I once met the great Kenny Clarke and bought a miles cd because he is on it. Ray Brown, I loved Eddie Jefferson when I lived in Pgh.. Nathan Davis is a mentor , I heard Eric Kloss at Sunny Days, Dick Lily was around( a Texas tenor loaned me a horn). The great Harold Betters, Walt Harper, David Moore,Tony Campbell and My main brother Dan Wasson on bass! Roger Humpries is still awesome.
Favorite Jazz Radio or media station
I remember WDUQ, and listened to Jazz Alive- wish I would have recorded some of those! They are probably available on cd like Piano Jazz is. I recorded some of them when I got back to Harrisburg, then they changed to the American Jazz Radio festival and was watered down a bit but still great live jazz with interviews of the artists at times.
Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue
I only went to Sunny Days which back in the 70s, Harold Betters was doing the Sheraton. I could not afford Harpers Attic and the Crawford Grill which today had local talent last I was there. I can not say I have been to any venues since I lived there except Dowe's who had a wonderful singer- guitar duo back in 2000. I guess some of these venues are gone. I have been to Gullifty's and heard some great jazz at monday night at AVA also at CJs where Roger Humpries holds court. I like April's also.
About Me:
I play saxes, flute, and bass since 1966. It was in Pgh. that Nathan Davis showed me the universality of jazz and jazz training for preparation to play all american musics. I would like to relocate to a larger venue, work, be a grandpop and enjoy life!

Dear Kevin, thank you so much for your kind words.
Myself I don´t write often at all either. Sometimes I think I should make myself do it more on command, like practising my horn, the tunes have a manner of just appearing when they feel like it, like once every six months or so.
But you are right. Everything resembles something that was before and I feel thankful if I can be a small small part of the roots.
