This week on The Scene, we revel in the joy of an event with the Ron Carter quartet and an honor to guitarist Joe Negri from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
We speak with Dr. Harry Carter about the founding times of the African-American Jazz preservation Association of Pittsburgh. Harry Clark gets an award as a jazz hero Sunday night at Alphabet City. Mensah Wali of Kente arts shares insights about the upcoming event on May 5 from Trombonist Craig Harris.
We’ll remember the vibraphonist Dave Samuels who passed away this week and hear music from Wynton Marsalis from a new film about Buddy Bolden the legendary trumpeter from the earliest days of jazz.
