Reggie Watkins - Flies in From India, Lands on a Boat with Roger Humphries - the Scene on WZUM
The title of the show sounds like a setup to a joke - but it’s really how jazz flies and sails in Pittsburgh these days.
We catch up with Reggie Watkins about his just concluded jazz trip to India with fellow WVU grad Jared Sims - it’s a fascinating story about the power of jazz and community. Check out this article from Rolling Stone, India.
Thursday at 6pm, Friday and Saturday at noon, Sunday afternoon at 5.
A rich array of jazz offerings unfold for the summer - and we play music from many of the artists to be featured on The Scene this week. Also - new music from the Reid Hoyson Project (a homecoming for a number of Pittsburgh players) and the new MCG Jazz release by the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra- Ellington Masterworks.
