Bobby and Harry Cardillo
Harry Cardillo began piano lessons with this father at age seven and went on to study classical piano at Duquesne University. In the meantime, Harry was busy establishing himself on the vibrant Pittsburgh jazz scene and has since worked with such local talent as Nathan Davis, Roger Humphries, Kenny Blake, Jimmy Ponder, and vocalists Sandy Staley and Michele Bensen. Harry's traveled extensively throughout his career and has accompanied such international talent as Billy Eckstine, Woody Herman, Sonny Stitt, Houston Person, Chuck Mangione, Keter Betts, and vocalists Carla White and Rebecca Parris, to name just a few. In the early 1990's, Harry had the honor of performing for President Bill Clinton, and Senators Ted Kennedy, Bob Dole and George McGovern on different occasions. Harry continues to perform, compose and teach in the Pittsburgh area, and he plays regularly at the Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.
