Celebrating Pittsburgh Jazz:The Launch of "Steel City Grooves"

This weekend will mark the launch of a new program celebrating Pittsburgh’s jazz history. Steel City Grooves: Celebrating Western Pennsylvania Jazz will chronicle the past, present and future of jazz in Pittsburgh. Joining us for a preview of this Senator John Heinz History Center Volunteer Ambassador Program is WESA jazz host Bob Studebaker.

Bob Studebaker gives us a taste of what to expect:

“ We are going to have a program on the final Thursday of every month for the next six months. It will be a video component from the Heinz History center and the Jazz Ambassadors program… there will be legendary Pittsburgh jazz artists there to answer questions."

The premiere of Steel City Grooves series begins tomorrow night at 7pm at James Street Gastropub & Speakeasy .
