The Seventh Year of Con Alma - from 2019 to Now - the Scene

This weekend holds a big gala to celebrate and sustain Con Alma, the Pittsburgh Jazz Club - Sunday with an Orrin Evans led gala, February 1st from 5-9pm.

We revisit the history of Con Alma - starting as a dream by Josh Ross, Aimee Marshall and John Shannon with the small, beloved venue on Ellsworth Avenue, through COViD challenges, adding a location in downtown Pittsburgh and nearly 7 years of operation to the turning point of the story, now.

Music and conversation about the modern-day Pittsburgh jazz Mecca, Con Alma.

The Scene - Thursday at 6, Sunday at 5, Friday and Saturday at noon.
