Jazz Live!

This past weekend was one of epic proportions...Pittsburgh hosted its annual Jazz Live International, a celebration of music consisting of local and national acts. Saturday, I enjoyed 9 straight hours of this beautiful event from witnessing Sean Jones on the trumpter, young cats Center of Life, Chelsea Baratz on her saxophone and late-night jam sessions hosted by Mr. Jones as well as the incredible, legendary Roger Humphries.

Being surrounded by the jazz community we have here made me realize why I am embarking on making a short film about the scene. Everyone is in it together, creating a collective and harmonious vibe that is almost unheard of in every other city in America, or even the world. I can't wait to begin documenting this phenomenon.

Watch this short video from this past weekend to see some of the people you will meet in the short film!
