EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED
TO THE NEW HAZLETT THEATER BECAUSE OF RAIN

Don't miss this year's annual JAZZ/POETRY CONCERT presented by City of Asylum/Pittsburgh. The FREE event will take place on Sampsonia Way and include musical sets by the Oliver Lake Jazz Quintet and the Flux Quartet. The two groups will also join together—along with 9 poets from all around the world—to perform the world premiere of a new jazz work by Oliver Lake called "What is Home?"

ONE BIG CHANGE THIS YEAR: In the event of rain, the concert will move indoors to the New Hazlett Theater. For more information, visit http://www.cityofasylumpittsburgh.org/.

One of the world's most preeminent jazz innovators, trombonist and sea shellist, Steve Torre has consistently won both the Readers' and Critics' polls in JazzTimes, Downbeat, and Jazziz for best trombone and for best miscellaneous instrumentalist (shells). Roy Eldridge (1911 - 1989) aka "Little Jazz", was born and reared in Pittsburgh, and is considered one of the greatest trumpet players in jazz history. His range and rhythmic skill made him perhaps the finest trumpeter of the swing era of the 1930's. His sophisticated use of harmony resulted in him sometimes being seen as the link between Louis Armstrong-era swing music and Dizzy Gillespie-era bebop. The band will conduct a free Jazz Workshop for Youth at the theater, 2 -3 PM. For more information call 412-322-0292.
