Guitarist Ron Affif has deep roots in Pittsburgh. Ron is the son of noted boxer Charley Zivic/Affif, and nephew of Sinatra guitarist Ron Anthony (who died in January of this year)

Ron Affif hasn’t been home to Pittsburgh since about 2016 - but he’ll be back in town this weekend - for a trio date at Con Alma, Downtown on Friday and a special “After Release” event for vocalist Tania Grubbs and her quintet on Sunday - an event delayed for 19 months because of the pandemic.

We visit with Tania on the deferred event - and with Ron Affif about a bit of his career and story.

Plus Jazz Central and much more - on the Scene - Thursdays at 6pm, Friday at Saturdays at noon, Sundays at 5pm on WZUM.

Guitarist Ron Affif returns to play, Tania Grubbs and her deferred CD Release event, and Roger Humphries holds court for a late set - The Scene on WZUM
