This week’s MCG Jazz Spotlight Show showcases pianists who have performed in the MCG Concert Hall, especially on the Steinway D Concert Grand Piano that was selected by Pittsburgh’s Ahmad Jamal in 1988.
MCG’s Marty Ashby and Renée Govanucci share archival music and stories about and by artists like Herbie Hancock, Marian McPartland, Monty Alexander and more.
Hearing Billy Taylor bringing Gerry Mulligan to the stage is priceless!
BTW - MCG Jazz is selling their Steinway D Concert Grand piano, if you know of someone who’s looking for an instrument with many stories!
