Chu Berry
Wheeling, WV and Pittsburgh are very close on the map, and connected, musically, too. On WZUM’s The Scene, we visit with Wheeling native and Carnegie resident Reggie Watkins about his recently published article on legendary tenor saxophonist Chu Berry, another native of Wheeling. The article can be found in WEELUNK, a publication about the heritage of Wheeling.
— and we also make a connection with one of Chu Berry’s musical collaborators, Pittsburgh’s Little jazz - Trumpeter Roy Eldridge.

Plus, we hear recollections of the last performance of the Classic Dave Brubeck Quartet by a listener who was there at the Pittsburgh Hilton, 50 plus years ago.
And of course, a lot of music!
