The Individualism of Roger Humphries

Around 9 p.m. on gala night of the 2026 Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, I was obliged to exit an immensely satisfying concert by Samara Joy and her cohesive septet in the August Wilson Cultural Center’s auditorium to emcee a set by drum grandmaster Roger Humphries. A familiar and beloved figure in Pittsburgh’s hardcore jazz circles for most of his 82 years, Humphries reached the global stage during his 1964–’67 tenure with Horace Silver, during which he developed a creative, still-fresh, swing-meets Afro-Latin beat matrix to propel bandmates Joe Henderson, Carmel Jones, Woody Shaw and J.J. Johnson on albums like Song For My Father, The Cape Verdean Blues and The Jody Grind, thereby stamping his tonal personality in the volatile mix of contemporaneous drum expression then being developed by individualistic, virtuosic generational contemporaries like Tony Williams, Joe Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White and Billy Cobham.

The Forgotten Pennsylvania Town That Used To Be A Massive Industrial Hub

America’s very first Carnegie library once made millworkers take a tunnel to a basement bathhouse before they could check out a book. Clean hands first, then the reading room. That rule tells you a lot about the town around it. This little borough in Pennsylvania still has a working steel mill, one Andrew Carnegie built in the 1870s.

WVU Student and NCWV Graduate Charts Course Towards Music Industry Career

For Audrey Hasley, a junior at West Virginia University, there was never a doubt she belonged in the music industry — although she did question where exactly she’d fit in. She wasn’t interested in performing or becoming an instructor, which, growing up in Martinsburg before moving to Morgantown in high school, seemed to be the only realistic option in the career field.
