Pittsburgh Connection

Born, Raised, and Bred with Pittsburgh Jazz

Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers

Jimmy Ponder, Nelson Harrison, George Heid, Roger Humphries, hmmm, if I included everyone I love that was originally from Pittsburgh, the list would go on forever.

Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue

Well, I saw some amazing shows(McCoy Tyner, Kenny Burrell, Bill Heid) at the Balcony, and have seen legends(Kenny Burrell, Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow, Charlie Byrd, Elvin Jones) at Manchester, but really anywhere that is supporting live Jazz in Pittsburgh is wonderful in my book!

About Me:

Born into a family of musicians, I picked up guitar at about 8 years old. My father played guitar and when I was about 5 or 6, I had a tape that had Grant Green's "Idle Moments" on one side and "Feelin' the Spirit" on the other. These great recordings along with "The George Benson Cookbook" and "It's Uptown with the George Benson Quartet" were my earliest inspirations. I have since drawn as many influences and inspirations from whoever and whatever I can and try to make music that stays true to the essence of music, expressing emotions.
