Hendrik Meurkins comes to town, so does Jeff Goldblum, and the Jazz Days of Summer Return on The Scene on WZUM - Thursday at 6, Sunday at 5

Thursday night at 6, repeated Sunday at 5 on “THE SCENE” on WZUM - Summer swings on!

The community-wide partnership of the Pittsburgh Jazz Days of Summer has been launched - with a special focus on August 17-25- which includes a big show at Hartwood Acres by the Manhattan Transfer.

Billie Holiday passed, 60 years ago, July 17. We play some of her music with Pittsburgh’s Roy Eldridge from 1935.

Also - the remarkable harmonica (and vibes) artist Hendrik Meurkins comes to Pittsburgh at Wolfies for Saturday (sadly, a Friday date at the Village Tavern has been put aside because of the heat!).

And - Jeff Goldblum came back home for Jeff Goldblum day, July 13th - and many folks got to say, “hey.” We have some of his music to play.

Plus, a brand new release from Chick Corea and the Spanish Heart Band.

All on the radio on WZUM!
