2024 is over - and as we look back at the year in Pittsburgh Jazz for 2024, it was pretty amazing - with historic recognition, musical reunions, new adventures and the return of the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival to downtown, to cite just a few.
One the program, we look at
the revival of Ernest McCarty Jr’s Dinah Washington play by Mark Clayton Southers and Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater,
the unveiling of historical marker honoring the home of jazz piano legend Earl “Fatha” Hines in Duquesne,
the reunion of actor and pianist Jeff Goldblum with his onetime jazz piano teacher Frank Cunimondo,
and the honorary renaming of a street on Pittsburgh’s Northside to “Roger Humphries Way.”
That was just a part of the year!
The Scene - Thursday at 6pm, Friday and Saturday at noon, Sunday afternoon at 5.
Frank Cunimondo and Jeff Goldblum
