We visit with a great jazz advocate and supporter of the Jazz Scene in Pittsburgh, Janis Burley Wilson, President and CEO of the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.

We look at the past present and future of jazz in our region, in person and more, including the success of the online version of the 2020 Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival, plus new projects like the Vinyl Report being curated by Thomas Wendt.
