The Trust’s ‘JazzLive’ program hosts jazz musicians from around the region every Tuesday at local Downtown venues. ‘ ‘ ‘ As head of jazz programming, Wilson strives to bring well-known groups like ‘Ray Vega Jazz Quintet,’ a Latin jazz group and Jones’ Mission Statement to jazz-hungry Pittsburgh audiences. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘The goals of my program are to promote the local jazz community, provide exposure for the artist and expose the audience to new things,’ said Wilson. In coordination with the romantic tradition of Valentine’s Day, the Trust chose Jones to toot his trumpet with one theme in mind: love. Jones is expected to perform what he knows best ‘mdash; jazz standards and some of his original compositions ‘mdash; but Wilson wanted to make this event a little different from the normal Jones experience.’ ‘I commissioned Sean to play not only with his band, but also the string ensemble,’ she said. ‘It’s something he’s not really used to, I wanted to give him a little bit of a challenge.’
