Sorry to say, Thursday's Live jam at Savoy with RH Factor has been cancelled. Thanks to everyone who came out to support. Please note that Savoy Monday Night Jazz is continuing on. Join us next Monday when Fred Pugh III along with Tony Campbell & Jazz Surgery will be performing from 6 to 9pm (no cover). See you there.

 Jazz Fans,

As I’m sure you already know, Tuesday is Valentine’s Day and since Savoy is closed on Tuesdays, Monday Night Jazz will celebrate that day with the sophisticated and romantic sounds of vocalist, Fred Pugh III and Tony Campbell’s Jazz Surgery. 

With that in mind, Savoy is reserving most of the dining room tables for all those diners celebrating Valentine’s Day with us.  As always, the cocktail tables at the front of the house and the bar will be available for…

Hi everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  I just got word of some exciting things happening with Monday Night Jazz at Savoy!

Before I go any further, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for helping make Savoy one of the best new spots for jazz in the “burgh” over the past few years.  It has been compared to such iconic Pittsburgh jazz venues as The Encore and The Balcony (just to name two).  We are well on our way (if not already there) to be remembered in days…

Hi Jazz fans,

Just wanted to do a little extra to make sure that all of you are aware of how special this Monday night at Savoy (7/21/14) is going to be!  Pittsburgh area native, Ralph Lalama will be in town that night to do a special show with Roger Humphries and his trio.  Also, scheduled to sit in for a set with Mr. Lalama is one of the prodigies from Elevations, George Heid lll.  Ralph is well known in historic jazz circles and has played with many legends.  Also, Ralph…

Hi Jazz Family,

Once again, I want to thank all of you who came out to honor and support Mr. Chizmo Charles Anderson, a true Pittsburgh legend, at Savoy Monday Night Jazz on December 23, 2013. It showed just how many people feel as blessed as I do to have the honor of calling this man, mentor and friend.

Due to the fact that many of you, who love this great artist, made me aware that you had lost contact with him and was concerned that he might not even be…

Hey everybody, for this Christmas season, on Monday, December 23^rd, I’m really excited and honored to be able to present to you an extra special event at Savoy Monday Night Jazz.

  CHIZMO CHARLES Anderson will be there to sing and enjoy a host of Pittsburgh’s finest artists as they honor him in song!  Chizmo has been a mentor and an inspiration to many singers (myself included) for many years.  He is one our few elders still able to share his music with us, so any…

Hi fellow jazz lovers, Charlie G. here with some great news from Savoy Monday Night Jazz.  First, I want to thank all of you for helping make Monday Night at Savoy one of the best nights for jazz in Pittsburgh.  With the help of legends and giants of straight ahead jazz like Dwayne Dolphin and Roger (dad) Humphries and one of the ‘burghs’ favorite piano players, Max Leake, Savoy, in a few short years, has earned a spot in Pittsburgh’s rich jazz legacy, alongside such memorable venues as the…

Hi everyone,  just wanted to let you know that, due to the end of daylight savings time in November, starting November 5th the hours of play for the band will go back to 5pm to 9pm!  Please mark your calendar!  Once again, November 5th starts the fall/winter hours for Jazz at Savoy (5pm to 9pm)!  (*Oct 29th with Shawnee Lake is still 6pm to 10pm).  Thanks.

You all are the BEST!  This past Monday (8/13/12) at Savoy was absolutely amazing!  The house was packed and the good times rolled!  Lou Stellute was on fire and of course, Roger, Dwayne and Max knocked it out of the park, so to speak.  Working with these amazing players was a real treat and having a great crowd of jazz lovers to share this experience with was priceless!  And as much as I enjoyed my night in the limelight, I'm more then happy to move back into the role of host for some of…

LOVERS OF JAZZ,  First, I want to encourage you to make it a date to be at Savoy as often as possible for Monday Night Jazz.  And second, I want to especially ask you to make it a point to come out this coming Monday (Aug 13, 2012) to  see ME (CHARLIE G.) and LOU STELLUTE, (along with the ROGER HUMPHRIES TRIO),  do a rare performance at SAVOY! 

Over the past year, Savoy has had the pleasure of presenting some the best jazz musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever…
