We are convinced that there are lots of people out there who want to enjoy an evening&#8217;s entertainment without breaking the piggy bank.

Of course, part of the battle is name recognition and the lack of radio airplay for anyone except the commercially successful. But that&#8217;s another lament for another time.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to be in Pittsburgh on Thursday evening, it&#8217;s MCG Jazz Night at the Omni William Penn hotel. Clairdee and Henry will be doing two shows, 7 and 9 pm, in The Terrace Room, where I&#8217;m told they serve a delicious and affordable 3-course gourmet meal.
