For many years I hosted Tuesday Evening Accent On Jazz on WWUH Radio. My program always opened with a version of the familiar Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart tune, My Romance--a standard that has had its arrangement musically embraced and individualized extensively over the years. That one enduring and endearing selection is likewise the catchphrase of my own approving and playfully affectionate romance with jazz.
My show was lovingly dedicated to two jazz legends: vocalist Joe Williams and bassist Keter Betts. I am twice blessed to have made their acquaintance.
I am grateful to my listeners over the years. Thanks for your enthusiastic and dedicated listener support of our entire jazz department's efforts.
As I pled my case to you each Tuesday evening: "Shape your own personal statement of support for jazz in our community. Why not attend a youth band concert or a jazz jam? Join or support our local jazz society? Or donate an unused musical instrument, or just shake a musician's hand and offer a single word of appreciation at the next show you attend. It's all good."
