Pittsburgh Connection
i lived in pittsburgh for the majority of my formative years and it's where I first became seriously involved with music
Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers
I could state all the obvious legendary greats....Your George Bensons, your Stanley Turrentines, Lena Hornes, Ahmad Jamal, etc...but instead I'll give a shout out to a few of the awesome players who had a hand in my personal development as a musician: folks like Howie Alexander, Paul Thompson, Roger Humphries, Dwayne Dolphin...hell, this list could be just as long!
Favorite Jazz Radio or media station
K-Jazz out of long beach California
Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue
I was always kinda partial to James Street over on the North Side but I don't know if it's there anymore.....the Balcony was nice too back in the day....As far as clubs that are open now I guess I'll have to go with CJ's in the strip! Just wish I could get back to the burgh more often.
About Me:
I am a graduate of CAPA's music department where I began learning to play bass. after that, I attended Clarion university of Pa. and minored in music. I moved out to southern california to pursue a career in performance and now perform in a number of bands, most notably Metal/Funk band Year of the Dragon and Soul/Funk/Jazz band Upstart

    I´d really appreciate it if you could take the time to look at my work and leave your impressions here or in the guestbook on my homepage -http://www.miartemartagracielabressi.webs.com/- where there are more samples of my digital art works, engravings and sculptures. The web site´s in Spanish but, if you want to read the texts in English, you can access my Livejournal:

    You can also visit the website we created with the Belgian jazz musician Dirk Schreurs to make our recent video art collaboration known to the world:
