Early in October, 2019, MCG Jazz celebrated RADical Days with a special live recording of the MCG Jazz Spotlight Hour with Marty Ashby and recently inducted Pittsburgh Jazz Legend, pianist Max Leake. This is that show!
Max plays music favorites, and also performs a few numbers on the Steinway grand piano that was used for many years by pianist Johnny Costa for the iconic PBS show (made in Pittsburgh), Mister Rogers Neighborhood.
