June was an amazing month for Jazz in Pittsburgh - and there’s even more exciting activity in July!

• The historic marker placed in Duquesne for Earl “Fatha” Hines June 18.

• The recognition of the 60th Anniversary of the first ever Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, June 19-20 at the Civic Arena, 1964.

• The homecoming for actor and pianist Jeff Goldblum for The Pittsburgh CLO at the Benedum June 1st, including reuniting Jeff with his first Jazz piano teacher, Frank Cunimondo.

• Handyman Joe Negri - the legendary guitarist’s 98th birthday - June 10.

• The 5th Anniversary of Pittsburgh’s newest jazz venue, Con Alma, presenting live jazz 7 nights a week, downtown.

• Add in more than 200 live jazz events on the jazz calendar and our ongoing programs like the Pittsburgh Show, Rhythm-a-Ning, the Scene, the MCG Jazz Spotlight, the Soul Show, and more sounds of great music day and night, these are exciting times with many opportunities for more with you and WZUM.
