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 Dissertation viva is a necessary part of the assessment for all UK Dissertation modules. The viva is part of the assessment for the module, and the final mark for the module is a result of performance in the written text and the oral viva.
The main functions of the Dissertation viva are to:
1. Enable clarification of any points within the written text of the dissertation.
2. Resolve borderline marks arising from the written text of the dissertation.
3. Establish the student has written the dissertation him/herself.
The Dissertation viva will also involve oral questions on the content of the UK dissertation by the examiners.
These will examine:
1. The topic of the dissertation.
2. The approach taken to the topic.
3. Other research relevant to the dissertation topic or dissertation.
4. The experience of undertaking the research and writing up the Custom dissertation.
The Dissertation viva will last between 10 and 15 minutes, and will take place at an fixed time during week 13 of the Spring Semester. Viva for dissertations completed for the LLB Law and French, LLB Law and German, LLB Law and Russian and LLB Law and Spanish programmes will last longer to enable time to test language skills.
Students should note that two examiners would be present at the viva from the Department.External examiners may also be present. At least two examiners, and perhaps three will therefore conduct the viva. No more than three examiners will be present during the viva.
