Friday 3 to 6 pm - Bob Protzman

Jazz has been an important part of Bob Protzman's entire life, both personally and professionally.

During an award winning 40-year career as a newspaperman that began at the Erie Morning News and ended with retirement in 1998 after 31 years at the St. Paul MN Pioneer Press, Bob also found time to work in radio in Erie and the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis as a newsman, sports show host, and most importantly, host of a jazz program.

Bob’s love affair with music—especially jazz—began in early childhood when he ran around the house “singing’’ Nat King Cole’s “Straighten Up and Fly Right,’’ and with butter knives and a wooden chair, “played’’ drums along with music on the family radio.

Bob studied drums in junior high (7th grade) at Academy High School, but his thoughts of being a musician ended there—one of his few regrets in life. A fellow trainee, however, stuck with it and went on to become one of Erie’s finest, most respected jazz musicians. Tenor saxophonist Charles Ventrello remains an important figure on the Erie jazz scene.

Bob began his real jazz “education’’ in the U.S. Air Force, which he joined after graduating from Erie Cathedral Prep. Stationed in Newburgh, NY, just 65 miles up the Hudson River from New York City, he and some jazz loving  pals took advantage of the location and spent every weekend they could in the Big Apple listening to the greatest players and bands of the day at a time when the city was full of clubs like Birdland, the Five Spot, Royal Roost, Jimmy Ryan’s, Hickory House, Metropole, et al.

Bob returned to Erie after discharge in 1957, and after responding to a column by the late Hugh “Red’’ Barr about forming an organization of Erie jazz fans, was among those who began the Erie Jazz Society the following year.

Barr  also got Bob an interview that led to a job with the Erie Morning News.

Bob began broadcasting part time while at the Morning News, working at stations of the day such as WLEU (1450), WICU (1330) and WERC (1260). At WERC, then general manager Art Arkelian gave Bob the chance to host his first jazz show.

Bob has hosted jazz shows off and on since—at two different stations in the Twin Cities, and on Erie’s WQLN for 3 ½ years before joining Jazz FM 88.5 at Mercyhurst College.

Bob left Erie for St. Paul in 1967, and after only a year at the St. Paul Pioneer Press, asked to write a general music column he called “Today’s Sounds.’’ A general assignment reporter, who covered human and civil rights, education, politics, etc., Bob became in 1977 a fulltime arts and entertainment writer, specializing in jazz.

Bob eventually became one of the few fulltime jazz writers on a daily newspaper in the United States, and submitted ideas to and wrote for Down Beat magazine, the internationally distributed oldest, and arguably most popular of all jazz publications.

Bob was a founding member of the Twin Cities Jazz Society which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary, and was voted into the Minnesota Jazz Hall of Fame as one of only two non-musician members.

After living in Pittsburgh’s North Hills for two years and reviewing jazz CDs for the Sunday Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Bob returned in 2003 to his hometown Erie.

He joined the board of JazzErie and put together the organization’s first-ever full season of performances. He also served on the JazzErie board and now is a member of its Performance Committee, which is responsible for selecting nationally known and local artists to perform in Erie.
