This week on the MCG Jazz Spotlight Show, Marty Ashby and special guest Benny Benack III get together to share music and stories as the music scene in Pittsburgh, New York and worldwide looks to open the doors again.
Benny is a native of Pittsburgh who has been making a name for himself and his music in New York, Europe and beyond, but during the time of lockdown, there’s been a new kind of improvisation to behold.
Benny brings sounds from Oscar Peterson, Clark Terry, Horace Silver - with Roger Humphries, and much more.
Also, Benny’s recent project with up-and-coming vocalist Veronica Swift.
The MCG Jazz Spotlight show on WZUM - Friday and Sunday nights at 6, and Saturday afternoon at 1.
