The Ensemble

The Artists of Jazzmania Live

Developing and experienced musicians and vocalists united by a love of live performance and a commitment to growth.

About the Ensemble

Jazzmania is a rotating collective of Pittsburgh's most committed musicians and vocalists. Some are seasoned professionals; others are developing artists building their craft in real performance settings. All of them share the same values: preparation, listening, collaboration, and generosity toward one another and toward the audience.

There are no permanent chairs and no fixed hierarchy. The roster shifts by project and season. What stays constant is the standard. Every person on that stage has committed to the work — and to the audience that deserves it.
