Dave Burrell's Archive Given to Pitt
The Center for American Music, part of the University of Pittsburgh Library System, has acquired the Dave Burrell Archive.
Burrell was an influential innovator in New York’s free jazz scene and played alongside such trailblazing musicians as alto saxophonist Marion Brown and tenor saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, and David Murray.
