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.

If You Are a Labeling Machine Buyer — Here’s Why Accutek Is a Strong Choice
When you’re buying a labeling machine, you’re not just paying for hardware — you’re paying for accuracy, uptime, support, and scalability. As a buyer, you want a machine that performs, lasts, and grows with your business.
Here’s how Accutek meets those needs.
1. Built for Long-Term Durability
Labeling equipment is a long-term investment — and you expect it to last.
Accutek machines are designed with:
- Heavy-duty stainless-steel frames
- Industrial-grade motors and electronics
- Simple, clean, service-friendly engineering
Buyers often report Accutek equipment still running well after 10–20 years with proper maintenance.
➡️ This means a lower lifetime cost and faster return on investment.
2. Strong Accuracy and Label Placement Consistency
The biggest risks with labeling machines are:
- Crooked labels
- Wrinkles or air bubbles
- Misalignment
- Sensor reading issues
Accutek reduces these issues using:
- Servo or stepper-driven labeling heads
- High-precision sensors
- Automatic positioning and adjustment controls
Their systems perform well on:
- Bottles
- Jars
- Cans
- Irregular containers
➡️ If consistent quality matters to your branding, this level of precision is a major advantage.
3. Options for Every Production Level
Whether you’re producing hundreds or tens of thousands of units per day, Accutek offers the right fit.
Available Machine Types:
✔ Bench-Top & Semi-Automatic Labelers — ideal for:
- Startups
- Small runs
- Pilot testing
✔ Fully Automatic High-Speed Systems — ideal for:
- Food & beverage
- Cosmetics
- Chemicals and cleaning products
- Growing manufacturers
➡️ You can start small and scale without switching brands — rare in this industry.
4. One Manufacturer for Your Entire Packaging Line
Many production issues occur when equipment from different manufacturers doesn’t integrate well.
Accutek also builds:
➡️ One manufacturer means fewer compatibility problems, one support source, and smoother expansion.
5. Strong Customization Capabilities
If you have a unique bottle, label design, or packaging style, many manufacturers say “Not possible.”
Accutek customizes:
- Label heads
- Conveyor systems
- Wrapping stations
- Orientation sensors
- Feed and handling systems
➡️ For specialty industries like cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and gourmet products, this flexibility is crucial.
6. Local Support and Spare Parts Availability
Because Accutek machines are built in the U.S. (Vista, California), buyers benefit from:
- Readily available replacement parts
- Support trained in-house
- Faster diagnostics and repairs
➡️ Less downtime means more production — and more revenue.
7. Clear Specifications and Pricing
Unlike some manufacturers who leave pricing vague, Accutek is generally more transparent.
➡️ As …
