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.
WELCOME!

A CO2 laser marking machine is a sophisticated tool utilized for precise and
efficient marking, engraving, or etching on a variety of materials. It harnesses the power
of a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam to create highly detailed and permanent markings
on surfaces. The focused CO2 laser beam enables extremely precise marking with fine
details and sharp edges. They can mark a wide range of materials, including organic
and non-metallic materials, making them suitable for various industries such as
manufacturing, electronics, automotive, medical devices, and packaging. The marking
process is non-contact, which minimizes the risk of damage to delicate materials and
eliminates the need for consumables like ink or dyes. CO2 laser marking machines can
achieve high marking speeds, allowing for efficient production throughput.
Key Features:
The CO2 laser source is the system’s core, emitting a concentrated infrared beam at
approximately 10.6 micrometers. This wavelength is absorbed by organic materials like
wood, paper, plastics, glass, leather, and some metals, enabling precise marking and
engraving.
The marking head, housing the focusing lens and mirrors, directs and focuses the laser
beam onto the material surface. It integrates a galvanometer scanner system for rapid,
controlled movement, ensuring fast and accurate marking.
The control unit, housing electronics and software, manages the CO2 laser system’s
operation. Users can adjust parameters like power, speed, and design for various
marking applications.
The workstation provides a platform for the material, featuring a motorized Z-axis for
focal distance adjustment, a rotary attachment for cylindrical objects, and a fume
extraction system to clear debris.
Cooling systems, either water or air-based, dissipate heat generated during laser
operation, maintaining optimal performance and extending the laser source’s lifespan.
.
These systems can integrate into production lines or packaging machinery for inline marking and
offer connectivity options like Ethernet or USB for data transfer and control.

How Accutek Packaging Equipment’s Labeling Machines Empower Businesses with RFID Tag Integration
As the retail landscape evolves, giants like Walmart and Target are increasingly requiring their suppliers to include Radio Frequency Identification (or RFID) tags on their products. These labels offer benefits like easier inventory management, supply chain optimization, and product tracking, outperforming traditional barcode stickers.
But for companies to efficiently apply RFID tags, they need reliable and high-performance labeling equipment to keep pace with their production demands.
That’s where Accutek comes in.
Let’s talk about what RFID tags are, how they benefit companies, and what sets them apart from barcode labels. We’ll also go over how Accutek’s machines can streamline the RFID label application process for businesses of all sizes.
What Are RFID Tags and Labels?
RFID tags are small electronic devices that contain a microchip and an antenna. These tags communicate information wirelessly when an RFID reader scans them. This identifies products without the need for direct visual access, unlike traditional barcodes.
RFID tags are commonly used in retail, healthcare, logistics, and supply chain management because they can store large amounts of data and track items in real-time. They’re usually embedded in a product’s packaging or labeling, which helps businesses gain better control over their inventory and improve data accuracy.
RFID Tags vs. Barcode Labels: What’s the Difference?
Although both RFID tags and barcodes identify and track products, RFID technology offers significant advantages over traditional barcodes.
Barcodes can store limited information—typically just a product’s SKU or identification number. RFID tags can store detailed product data, including batch numbers, production dates, expiration information, and more.
Barcodes require a direct line of sight to be scanned, so the product must be physically visible. RFID tags can be read remotely, even if they’re hidden inside a box or behind an obstacle. This makes inventory management faster and more efficient.
RFID readers can scan hundreds of RFID tags at the same time; barcode scanners need to read each barcode individually. This makes RFID labels ideal for large-scale operations, like warehouse inventory counts or shipments in transit.
RFID tags are more durable and can withstand harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures or exposure to water and chemicals. Barcodes, which are typically printed on paper labels, can easily become damaged or faded.
Given these advantages, it’s no surprise that major retailers like Walmart and Target are pushing for adopting RFID tags. The technology offers a more comprehensive and efficient solution for tracking products, reducing shrinkage,
