It was an honor attending a school where a legend like you teaches,mentors and nourishes the musical nature of young children. Years ago, you honored me with The Roger Humphries Sr. Scholarship in 2007 and now I am about to graduate from college! Thank you so much for helping me further my education through music!
Please support my music and check out my website: www.musicbycasaundra.com
Once again,
Thank you and God bless!

Today while listening to the Minneapolis Minnesota jazz radio station WKBEM they played the song, One by One from the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy 21st Century Swing Band CD. I was blown away. Roger you really did Art Blakey justice. I will purchase this CD ASAP and advice all my friends to do the same. I can’t tell you how proud and elated I was to hear how tight the big band was. I hope this recording gets greater air play and it will if I have anything to do with it.

As a vocalist with my own band for 22 years/attended Carlow for Music when John Lively was there. I've enjoyed this web site and I intend on visiting again. I used to hit the Balcony Monday nights with friends years ago and miss this venue. I grew up on this type of music because my parents has their own orchestra back in the 40's. The Louise Tyke Orchestra played on WTAE and KDKA! PLease check out my www.myspace.com/1rockheart www.rokkheart.com

I heard you and Dwayne Dolphin (and others) play at CJ's last Thursday. It was my first real experience listening to live jazz. I was mesmerized--just gobsmacked!!! Thank you so much for being in Pittsburgh when you could probably be anywhere in the world! The joy and excitement of hearing your music is a priceless experience.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Beth Sprague
PS Bringing my sons to hear all of you next Thursday. Thanks again and again.

What an extraordinary evening of music you provided last night at C.J.'s. I loved every minute of it. As I always say: you're the bright musical flame that all the fine musicians are drawn to. At one time there must have been 12 or 13 on the stage at one time. Marvelous!

I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed the music last Thursday (Oct. 15th) I was in town from Detroit. As it turns out I ended up running into friends I haven't seen in a long time. My husband Russ Miller is a Prof. of Jazz studies at Wayne State University in Detroit and was the lead alto with someone I'm sure you probably know, JC Heard up until he passed. Bill Heid, George & Russ go way back as well, and Russ told me that Bill and George spoke with GREAT admiration for you over the years. It was a gas watching you play and showcasing the young players you've mentored. FANTASTIC!!! It would be great to bring you to Detroit for a clinic or concert at Wayne State as guest artist or something along those lines. I would love to make that connection if you'd be interested. I can't wait for my next visit to Pittsburg. You are magnificent and I love what you are doing!!!
Sincerly,
Jeannine Miller
