Annual B-PEP Jazz Event Fundraiser with Over 70 Performers and Bands (Mon., 10/9/23)

It’s time for B-PEP Jazz, the annual one-day festival that’s a “musical fun-raiser” for the Black Political Empowerment Project. This event once again features host bands Roger Humphries & the RH Factor, and The Tim Stevens Project. (Vocalist Stevens, a longtime political activist, is also the founder and leader of B-PEP.) Along with the host bands, over 70 individual jazz artists and groups from the Pittsburgh area are scheduled to perform. The lineup includes sax players, pianists, and other instrumentalists, as well as singers, traditional combos, and crossover groups. In short, if you’ve got some favorite local jazz performers, chances are good you will see (and hear) them here. Admission is $45 or $40 for seniors. B-PEP Jazz Host Chair is Annie Hanna Cestra from Hanna Real Estate Services and our B-PEP JAZZ Honorary Chair is Larry Richert from the KDKA Morning Show. B-PEP Jazz kicks off at 5:30 p.m. in the Heinz History Center, 1212 Smallman St., Strip District. (M.V.)
