<<Until a few years ago, you could hear the great Chicago jazz pianist Jon
Weber simply
by strolling to the Four Seasons Hotel on East Delaware Place, riding an
elevator
up to the lounge and pulling up a chair.
Come January, listeners across America -- and beyond -- will be hearing
Weber in
a decidedly more high-profile context, for he'll host a retooled version
of the longest-running
jazz show on National Public Radio, "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz.">>
How awesome is that?!
Jon is originally from Milwaukee. We used to play together, and he recorded
with me once, when he lived in Milwaukee. (in the late '70s, early '80s)
I can personally attest that Jon is genius. Big keyboard reach, and really,
an ear and memory you just wouldn't believe.
This couldn't happen to a nicer person.
Congrats to Jon!
