FIELD GUIDE
The story
Three lively musicians, each 15 feet tall, stand in a courtyard on Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh's Cultural District. Visit Pittsburgh says they pay homage to the city's jazz legacy; the sculptor, James Simon, describes them more broadly as a tribute to Pittsburgh's musical legacy. Simon, whom Visit Pittsburgh calls a Pittsburgh native, sculpted the figures in clay and cast them in concrete. On his website he says they form a landmark and gateway courtyard to a modern loft building on one of the city's busiest streets, and that they have been featured in publications including Dwell magazine. Visit Pittsburgh includes them among the downtown public art worth walking to see.
