Trumpeter Sean Jones has had a dramatic influence on jazz during his career. His many years in Pittsburgh and continued association with our scene is a rich gift.

Sean is also gaining national attention, not just as a stellar musician, but as an eloquent advocate. ABC News just aired this segment, which we encourage you to see if you haven’t yet.

Sean is helping curate the daylong digital jazz festival for Pittsburgh, coming June 20 at noon from the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.
