Reggie Watkins
We revisit with trombonist and bandleader Reggie Watkins - a regular all around the Pittsburgh Jazz Scene, from the Steeltown Horns, to his regular quartet gig and much more.
We talk about his time with Jason Mraz, Maynard Ferguson, Scott Bradlee’s Post Modern Jukebox and much more. We also hear the story behind the 2001 Maynard Ferguson project produced by Phil Ramone with vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur - when Reggie also served as Music Director and Arranger - in a band that also had Pittsburgh area notables such as Jeff Lashway - piano; Brian Stahurski - double bass; and Brian Wolfe - drums.
We also revisit the Piano Day Pittsburgh, and look again toward Saturday, March 28th’s broadcast of the Piano Day Pittsburgh Piano Songwriting contest - it was going to be a live event, but given COVID-19, we will do it on the radio, 3pm Saturday.
All on the radio on WZUM!
