Over the weekend, Liberty Avenue never sounded so good. A couple blocks on one of Pittsburgh’s main thoroughfares were blocked off to set the stage for the 2025 Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival. With twin stages on both ends of the Liberty venue, 18 different jazz bands took turns jiving the crowd over a two-day period. After catching the Taste of Jazz Party on Friday evening, I managed to jump back on board around 1 pm on Sunday and caught all the jazz artists except one in a music marathon that ran from the afternoon into the evening.
