MCG Jazz’s Marty Ashby shares sounds and some stories of two legendary Pittsburgh Jazz icons who both have strong ties to Fred Rogers, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and MCG Jazz: pianist Johnny Costa and guitarist Joe Negri.

Johnny Costa and Joe Negri have been heard the world over, but Pittsburgh has benefited from their choice to base their careers, here.

Hear music of the American Popular Songbook, like Gershwin, Ned Washington and Victor Young, jazz standards from Jobim and Oscar Pettiford, compositions by Fred Rogers, and even an old favorite from David Rose.

Marty Ashby smiles all the way through - including the stunning performance of a grammy winner from Nancy Wilson with Joe Negri.
