City of Asylum
Giving Voice.
Jazz Legacy Fellow and Pittsburgh legend Roger Humphries takes to the stage with the RH Factor for a collaborative, community-driven performance highlighting the true spirit of jazz.
From the minds of Andrew Swensen and Yan Pang, City of Asylum hosts a showcase of “Shelter,” the story of scars carried from childhood into adulthood, how pain can distort our perception and damage our relationships, and how we find our strength through it.
Philadelphia, Detroit, and Pittsburgh are three of the most important cities in jazz, each churning out an astounding number of jazz masters. Guitarist Randy Napoleon (Detroit), bassist Jeff Pedraz (Philadelphia), and drummer Thomas Wendt (Pittsburgh) come together in this concert to celebrate the storied jazz legacies of their hometowns.
Lou Stellute, Antonio Croes, Ava Lintz, and George Heid III take the stage for a set of jazz standards mixed in with a musically inventive, funky, free, and improvisational performance!
Paul Thompson, John Shannon, Dan Wilson, Glenn Zaleski, and David Throckmorton pay tribute to 20-time Grammy award–winning guitarist (and longtime inspiration) Pat Metheny.
