Jazz Goddess: Larry

Larry

I am still recovering from the shock that my boss, Larry Green has left Jazz FM 91 as of yesterday. I had the pleasure of working with this incredible enthusiast and fount of jazz information for 4 seasons of "Jazzology" - what will it be like without him?

Larry has had a long career in the music business and 8 and a half years at the station, anchoring the Afternoon Drive slot...I will keep you posted on what's happening with the show I am proud to be a part of...all the best in your new endeavours, L - you taught me so much.

Walter Venafro is temporarily filling in...

Jacky Terrason was amazing last night - and who should be a table companion but the wonderful Fern Lindzon - we got to chat about the Buster Keaton project - she watched "Sherlock Junior" many, many times she confessed while writing the score...

Yes, I will also miss Larry as I have the utmost respect for him and enjoyed working with him immensely....I will let you know where he turns up!

Thank you again for the kind words and reading my little blog!; October 1, 2010 at 5:23 p.m.

Big fan of Jazz-fm, and was shocked to hear JOHN DONABEE in the chair today! Ick! Sounds like something hinky going on at the station. Anyway, if you talk w Larry, wish him well. He kept me sane on many a drive home. Meanwhile, I'll be letting Ross and co know how I feel.

jazz goddess said...: I will see about the contact info - I don't remember who you are and of course I am reluctant to pass along any information without clearing it first and knowing who requested it.; December 4, 2010 at 2:01 p.m.
