We have a number of interviews and new things to share from the Jazz Congress in New York City, last week - and we’ll have more of those stories, soon.
But we also were telling friends in New York about what’s going on in Pittsburgh - and there are a lot of sounds and stories happening, here - and we’ll touch on just a bit of it.
The Scene - Thursday at 6pm, Sunday at 5pm, Friday and Saturday at noon on WZUM.
Almost live from New York on the Scene this week - as we visited with jazz folks from around the world for the 2025 Jazz Congress hosted by Jazz At Lincoln Center. As is usually the case - Pittsburgh was well represented.
The Scene - Thursday at 6pm, Sunday at 5pm, Friday and Saturday at noon on WZUM.
