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!

Things You Must Know Before Investing In Penny Stocks
Penny stock is no more a new phrase to be heard, in the 21st century but it is equally true that it becomes a great confusion to most of us
when it comes to invest in it. And it is because we do not have much knowledge
about it. So the first thing is to know what this stock means. When any company
is incorporated, it requires some capital, that initial capital or investment
is referred as stock. Stocks can be of different values but only those stocks which
are traded for five dollars or less than five dollars a share over the counter
(OTC) through quotation services are known as penny stocks.
So the first thing is to select a good stock that can give a substantial return for your investment and for that you can subscribe to any
stock newsletters and stock notification services. These newsletters and notification
services provide great stock picks and recommendations and advice you about
different methods for purchasing good stocks online. Now the next thing is to
know about the ways of identifying winning stocks. There are many websites
offering online instructional courses and seminars for these, you can go for
them.
Along with these, it is always very wise to make a huge investment in an under valued company when its stock is at its lowest level
because it gives you a substantial good return. You must investment in a
company which anticipates a deal with any larger company because that will give
you higher returns in due course of time. You must keep yourself updated with
latest news and information. Because investment in stock is risky you should
not put all your money in individual stock but rather can distribute your available
money for investment in two or three stocks to balance the risk.
Basing upon selected good information along with the assistance of investing experts you will definitely get a substantial good
return for your investment in penny stocks. You will obtain the
advantage of the small window of opportunity that will come with big changes in
the price of the stock. Even though this
type of investment involves a high risk, there are chances of great returns from
these.
You enhance your chances of realizing substantial
gains for your investments by investing in penny stocks. You can also learn
more ways for keeping yourself equipped with all required information and tools
by joining any stock forum which discusses the best stocks
in the market.
