He produced the much-loved “Blues People” radio show on KCHO; co-founded the Chico Jazz Society and Chico Blues Society; hosted many visiting artists; and for decades wrote energetic, honest, informed (and grammatically impeccable) album and concert reviews for the Chico News & Review as well as JazzTimes…..
