The Count Basie Orchestra would play “April in Paris” and and the end, the Count would say, “one more time.”
Last week, with storms and technical issues, our Cunningham / Ashby confab was thwarted a couple of times — so this week, let’s play it again!
Marty Ashby welcomes Jim Cunningham, the voice of WQED, back as guest hosts for this week's MCG Jazz Spotlight Show. Jim shares great stories from his life in music and plays us tunes from his personal collection including Art Blakey, Johnny Costa, Dave Budway and more.
Plus, stories and music connecting Pittsburgh with Andre Previn, Leonard Bernstein and much more.
The MCG Jazz Spotlight, 6pm Friday and Sunday, Saturday at 1pm on WZUM.
