Summer Sounds with Roger Humphries - the Boat Ride on the 28th and Much More - the Scene on WZUM

Sounds of Summer in Pittsburgh include many sounds of Pittsburgh Jazz and Jazz coming to Pittsburgh.

Roger shares the story of the suit he wore for this photo - the seamstress will be at the June 28th Jazz on the River Boat Ride

We visit with Roger Humphries about the upcoming Jazz on the River Boat Ride, Sunday June 28, with a nine piece band and new charts from saxophonist, composer and arranger Mike Tomaro. Roger hints that there’s more Roger Humphries’ Bigger Band sounds ahead.

We also talk a bit about Joe Negri and the many times Roger and Joe connected over the years with the same purpose of “passing it on.”

We also hear music from people playing in town now or soon:

  • Harry Connick Jr

  • Olivia Chindamo and “Accentuate the Positive”

  • Delfeayo Marsalis

  • The Bleil Brothers

  • Trombone Shorty
