PITTSBURGH JAZZ
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.

25 pounds Loss with HCG Injections
Article is from hcg-injections.comI was a slender kid until my teen. I had an accident and spend months on crutches. Needless to say, during my recovery I gained 40 pounds. I wasn’t sure how to lose it. Working out is not much of an option anymore. Still, I managed to curb it eventually around 165 pounds by the time I turned 24 years old.
At 25, I got pregnant with my first child. I had constants morning sickness. The only food that prevents me from being sick was eating a lot of gingernut biscuits with some ginger tea. I ballooned up to 205 pounds by the time I was due. After birth, I managed to get down to 175 pounds by eating healthy and by going to the gym. Two years later, I got pregnant with my second child. And yes, with more constant sickness and pre-eclampsia. The end result, I gave birth to a premature baby. So, I turned to foods like cakes and ice cream for comfort. Click Here To Read More!

HCG Diet Weight Loss Stories - 248 pounds to 206 pounds
My name is Pia, I am 26 years old. I am feeling a lot more comfortable with myself now than before.I was a big girl. I was always bullied in school by my classmates. They would say things like “pork chop” and “elephant”. I neither hate doing physical education during my high school nor attend social school parties. I was upset with how I look. But still, I can’t resist eating the food that I love eating.
I’ve also have been on every diet and have taken diet pills. But nothing works for me. I have to accept that I was going to be fat. So, I gave up. I became bigger and bigger, 248 pounds in fact! Click here to read more!
