The list of jazz greats from Pittsburgh is long, and this time out, we sample four of them - Earl Hines, Mary Lou Williams, Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal. Each of these artists needs a special of their own - but for now, we’ll just enjoy a bit of their music and sounds from home.

A taste of Pittsburgh Piano on the Scene - Thursday at 6, Friday and Saturday at noon, Sunday afternoon at 5.

This week on the MCG Jazz Spotlight Show, MCG Jazz’s Marty Ashby shares sounds and some stories of two legendary Pittsburgh Jazz icons who both have strong ties to Fred Rogers and Mister Rogers Neighborhood: pianist Johnny Costa and guitarist Joe Negri.

Friday and Sunday nights at 6, and Saturday afternoon at 1.

Drummer Jimmy Cobb passed away this week at the age of 91. He had a rich career that spanned seventy years - from Earl Bostic, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan to the legendary Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” session in 1959 - to decades of collaborations with jazz greats to follow, including being feted as an NEA Jazz Master in 2009.

We’ll share music and some memories of a musical life well lived. Plus, more from the Pittsburgh Jazz Scene this week on WZUM.

From Scott Hanley, of WZUM - Saturday night at 8, and Sunday afternoon at 3, an extended version of our celebration of the life of Richie Cole.

About 7 years ago, Richie put down roots in Pittsburgh at the encouragement of one of his daughters, Annie. That is the perspective from which the coming program will be centered.

The community of Pittsburgh and the neighboring suburb of Carnegie play a major role in the last chapter of Richie Cole’s musical career - and Richie Cole’s impact on the Pittsburgh music scene, in return.

The MCG Jazz Spotlight shines on season 34 - the roaring 2020’s of jazz for Pittsburgh - with a sampler of what’s in store at the turn of 2021.
