<p>I don't normally post my thoughts on this site when I am peeved , but I have to clear these thoughts. I played a gig this weekend with three of Pittsburgh"s best musicians: Mark Lucas, Brian Sanders, and Kevin Howard.

<p>I don't normally post my thoughts on this site when I am peeved , but I have to clear these thoughts. I played a gig this weekend with three of Pittsburgh"s best musicians: Mark Lucas, Brian Sanders, and Kevin Howard. These three guys as well as myself played with Ronnie Laws at the August Wilson Center a few months back. The guys and I discussed back on the Ronnie gig about how The "audiences" and promoters here in Pgh don't really appreciate the talent that lives here and this weekend was an example of that. If any of you were at Scheneley Park Sunday then you would have seen Marcus Johnson and other out of town musicians. Unfortunately what you didn"t see if you came after three in the afternoon was the three fore mentioned guys and myself. We were intentionally put in that slot as just "local Musicians." That was a complete insult!!! I moved back here recently from the east coast where I felt the audiences and the musicianship couldn't touch what Pgh has to offer but after this weekend and the disrespect us four musicians received I am extremely disappointed in the promoters of that show. I, like a lot of other Pgh musicians live here because we "choose" too. I have lived many places and have always chose to come home. The very same people you rub elbows with on any given night and the same people you say are so great and that you love to hear play are the same people touring and recording all over America and the world and "we" are local. I have played many places in Europe where people found out I was from Pgh, I was treated like royalty every time partly based on the reputation of how great "our" , Pgh"s, musical contributions have been. It's time for the same people lobbying for a jazz radio station or a new jazz venue, ask yourself this question: Before I book so and so from D.C. or New York or anywhere else but from here am I being a hypocrite by promoting some guys from down the turnpike as the best new thing in jazz and yet yoking the cats from my scene? Or am I going to stop "talking" up the scene and help "build up" the scene. Hypocrite or straight shooter?</p>

<p>I think it is important that all of you jazz fans here in Pgh that plan on attending the Ronnie Laws concert should know who will be the backing band for Ronnie. It's great that African American Music Institute is mentioned but I personally would like to mention that I, Brian Edwards , will be playing drums, Kevin Howard - keys, Mark Lucas- Guitar, Brian Sanders - bass. We will be there on the stage representing Pittsburgh so come out and see the show.</p>

We will be collaborating with Cafe' Notte on a series of gigs and the first of which will be April 2nd. Cafe' Notte is one of the best places to experience music in the city and we are excited that Jerry and Debbie Santucci are allowing us to launch our project from there!!

I wanted to announce the death of Teena Marie, she was found dead by her daughter on Sunday the 27th. I met Teena when I was on tour in Europe a few years back and I have to say she was truly a cool person. The time I spent with her was like hanging out with an older sister, she was quick witted, soft spoken, and full of musical knowledge. The genius she possessed paralleled that of Prince and she was truly a force to be reckoned with. May her soul be blessed!

Hello,<div>greetings to all non musicians on the site, I need to speak to you. As some of you know I have been away from pittsburgh for about 7 or 8 years now and even though some of you have never heard of me or heard me play, I am one of many musicians that has helped keep jazz alive in pgh.. After a long time away I am coming back home to a more vibrant music scene than when I left, however the criminal element lives in the Burgh too! What I mean is this, you…</div>
Hello,<div>greetings to all non musicians on the site, I need to speak to you. As some of you know I have been away from pittsburgh for about 7 or 8 years now and even though some of you have never heard of me or heard me play, I am one of many musicians that has helped keep jazz alive in pgh.. After a long time away I am coming back home to a more vibrant music scene than when I left, however the criminal element lives in the Burgh too! What I mean is this, you <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">CANNOT</span> tape musicians playing locally no more than you can tape cats playing Heinz Hall. And for all of you arm chair lawyers <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">WE DO HAVE</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">RIGHTS</span>! The law protects our craft and our work and to that affect you can be and should be sued!</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>There are great players that choose to live here although they can live any where else in the world. To coin an old saying, "you won't miss what you had until it's gone." Nonsense of this sort will have a musician packing to find a better scene. If you love us musicians Pittsburgh help protect us from music thieves, if you see someone recording your favorite musicians, go and ask the guys if they know they are being recorded! Recording musicians without there permission is theft plain and simple. The people who do this have no respect for the music, musicians, or our great legacy and need to be singled out and thrown out.</div>

I just wanted to post a blog and let everyone know I will be back in the Burgh in 29 days and I am looking forward to making music in the steel city again. I have been away from home for roughly seven years and after some moving around , landed in Baltimore. The point must be made that in my traveles throughout the eastern seaboard, I have to say that most of the musicians I met have nothing on musicians from the Burgh. I miss playing with my friends there and will tell anyone Pittsburgh has…
