By the Numbers: All About Oakland’s New Kamin Tower

It won’t be long until a new tower joins Oakland’s distinctive skyline. UPMC Presbyterian Kamin Tower broke ground in 2022, adjacent to the nearly-100-year-old Presbyterian hospital. Officials say the medical giant received a “philanthropic gift” from Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin and the Kamin Family Foundation in 2025, which has advanced the project further; now, ribbon-cutting for the new building is expected to take place on Jan. 20, 2027 with patients slated to move in on Jan. 24, 2027.

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.

Gleb Tsipursky: Pittsburgh’s boroughs should rehearse an AI mistake before buying the tool

Allegheny County’s smaller municipalities have a practical opportunity with artificial intelligence. The same systems that can help a stretched staff draft a routine notice or compare paperwork can also send an authoritative-looking mistake to a resident. Before a borough pays for another AI tool, its officials should rehearse what they will do when the tool gets a consequential fact wrong.
