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!

I played a gig at The Ale House in State College with Andrew Jackson from Chester, PA, James Jackson from Hbg., and remember showing Bobby Fulton two chords to Mr. Magic. Bobby , you are from Harrisburg and played with the Emperors whom did Karate Boogaloo in 1964. It was a #4 pop hit nationwide. I am Ditty Potter's nephew and heard your brother do the best version of 'Without A Song' I have ever heard- true artistry. My mother( Dandy) said he was the bomb back in the day( 40s). Art Davis bought his first bass from my grandmother and my mom said they used to sit on the porches in uptown Hbg. Wallace street and sing together. Hbg. was just as segregated as any southern city before the 60s. The 'colored' people lived next to the state buildings which razed their community when the state expanded. So the first place I remember living was the projects and my grandfather owned a hotel and bar at 6th & boas streets before I was born, the Potters were affluent. Remeber the 'Superette' on Cameron street? I had a 3rd grade birthday party there in1965.- kevin d. hurst sr.

Hey Bobby Breen,
Greetings and Praise the Lord! You are truly bringing the flip side (i.e. the B side) of the Good News of the Gospel. The A side is when we're hearing about the Good News of what God can do and the B side is when we've become part of the Good News of what God has done. I believe God is blessing you, my brother, because you have been such a blessing to more people than you know and He's not finished with you yet. Keep on being the blessing that you are! Your personal Pastor and friend, Bobby Fulton.
