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.

The Best Filling Machine Manufacturer in California: Why Accutek Leads the Industry
When businesses in California begin searching for a filling machine—whether for beverages, cosmetics, cleaning chemicals, sauces, oils, pharmaceuticals, or personal-care products—they quickly discover a long list of equipment suppliers. But one name consistently stands out across industry reviews, trade references, and buyer experience:
Based in Vista, California, Accutek has become the go-to manufacturer for companies needing reliable, scalable, and versatile filling systems—from start-ups launching small-batch production to large facilities running high-speed automated lines.
Why Accutek Is Considered the Best Filling Machine Manufacturer in California
1. A Complete Range of Filling Technologies
Unlike companies that specialize in only one filling method, Accutek offers a full spectrum of filling systems, including:
- Gravity fillers
- Piston fillers
- Peristaltic pump fillers
- Overflow/level fillers
- Servo-driven volumetric fillers
- Rotary high-speed fillers
- Bench-top manual and semi-automatic units
This means they can handle nearly every product type:
| Product Type | Compatible with Accutek Systems |
|---|---|
| Water-like liquids | ✔️ |
| Oils, syrups, sauces | ✔️ |
| Foamy liquids (soap, sanitizer, detergents) | ✔️ |
| Thick creams, gels, pastes | ✔️ |
| Products with small particulates (salsa, scrubs, condiments) | ✔️ |
2. Scalable for Any Production Size
Accutek machines are tiered based on production stage:
| Business Stage | Best Machine Type |
|---|---|
| Start-ups / small-batch testing | Bench-top & semi-automatic |
| Growing brands scaling up | Inline automatic fillers |
| Established manufacturers | Fully automated rotary filling lines |
This scalability makes them ideal for businesses planning long-term growth — you don’t have to switch to a new manufacturer later.
3. Designed and Built in the USA
Many filling machine brands outsource manufacturing overseas, leading to inconsistent build quality and slow spare-parts support.
Accutek, on the other hand:
- Manufactures systems in California
- Uses high-grade stainless steel
- Builds machines to FDA, USDA, and GMP compliance standards
This gives buyers confidence in durability, sanitation, and long-term performance.
4. After-Sales Support and Service Availability
For most manufacturers, the machine isn’t the biggest investment — downtime is.
Accutek is known for:
- Technical training
- Spare parts availability
- On-site installation support
- Troubleshooting and service teams based in California
That means faster response, shorter repair windows, and less operational interruption.
5. Trusted Across Multiple Industries
Accutek serves a wide customer base, including:
- Beverage bottling facilities
- Health and beauty companies
- Cannabis and CBD product manufacturers
- Household and industrial chemical producers
- Sauce, condiment, and food packaging facilities
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands
Their ability to adapt equipment to each compliance environment makes them stand out from competitors.
