When most people think about the history of jazz, images of a young Louis Armstrong blowing his cornet through the Storyville streets of New Orleans spring to mind, or maybe they imagine sitting in the Apollo audience being serenaded by Billie Holiday’s melancholy rendition of “Fine and Mellow.” But there’s a city often left out of this conversation. A city that played a major part in building the jazz landscape of America. A city so full of talented musicians that they fell from the sky like fallen stars. While jazz heads worldwide celebrate this country’s exalted homebrew of music, I want to bend your ear to the history and continued legacy of jazz culture in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
