I have been programming jazz music on the radio since 1975 in both the Monterey Bay and the San Francisco Bay Areas. I am currently with KCSM – ‘The Bay Area’s Jazz Station’ where I am one of several ‘Jazz Oasis’ programmers.

Host, lawyer and veteran journalist.

As a drummer, I was sharing the bandstand with vibraphonist Dave Pike at Hungry Joe's on the Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. It was there I met Dennis Smith who was a DJ at L.A.'s flagship Jazz station, KBCA-FM. During one of Dennis Smith’s visits to the club we had a conversation about him doing the mid-day shift on Wednesdays with Gerald Wilson during which Gerald was conducting interviews with many Jazz greats. When Dennis invited me to come to the station, of course I took him up on the invite. I went there every Wednesday to listen to every word and watch Dennis and Gerald working together playing the music and conducting the interviews. I knew then that I would love to get onto radio.
