Description:

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!

She wasweighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her tostruggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line ropewrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in hermouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group forhelp. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determinedthat she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in anduntangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives andeventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam inwhat seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each andevery diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gentlyaround as she was thanking them. Some said it was the mostincredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut therope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the wholetime, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those youlove, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people whowill help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.I pass this on to you, my friends, in the same spirit.It's a good life!HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!
