Anne R Friedland

Born: May 28, 1953

I was a child prodigy, playing since age 1. I did my first gig at 4 and that was it as far as my teachers were concerned: I was a musician!!!!Taking lessons, I discovered I had perfect pitch, duplicating intricate classical pieces after hearing the teacher play them only once! He was thrilled, the powers that be were not. My mother, being a singer brought me up with Kathryn Grayson, Beverly Sills and other opera greats. I won a Scholarship to Carnegie Mellon, but went on the road and was introduced to Jazz in 1971. That was all she wrote. I hated the confines of classical music and jazz improv gave me a way to express myself ! The road has been rough for many reasons, but I refuse to give up!!! I am as of a few hours ago being assigned as the contact person and Editor for "The Rhythm House", a venue in Pittsburgh. Recently, jazz, real jazz has taken a killing here is Pittsburgh

Alexis Marcelo

Jim Hegarty

I am always searching for something new, something original and without category. Each performance is an opportunity to explore the intersection between the depth and richness of the historical past and the inspired spontaneity of this very moment. Jazz was the first music I was really excited to play and my enthusiasm for this artistic expression continues throughout my work. My music is about communicating immediate ideas; it is a dialogue, a conversation in sound that expresses insight and human connection/interaction. My process involves open forms, idiomatic techniques, non-traditional scales and harmonies, melodic line, and rhythmic energy. I am interested in cultural and social diversity, nature and its preservation, the juxtaposition of contemporary topics with historical reference, and arts activism
