Mid-September has had notable marks on the calendar for jazz over the years.

• September 1955, Pittsburgh’s Erroll Garner gave the concert that became the best-selling album, “Concert by the Sea.”

• September 1937 was a time for groundbreaking recordings by a young Billie Holiday, and in September 1962, Duke Ellington went into the studio for a awe-inspiring recording session, “Money Jungle,” with Charles Mingus and Max Roach.

• We also commemorate the September birthdays of Chu Berry, Charlie Parker, Charlie Byrd, Emily Remler, Joe Venutti, Cannonball Adderley and Jon Hendricks.
