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 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.

Scott Hanley has experience in most aspects of broadcasting, especially public radio, in a twenty-plus year career. A former reporter, arts producer, music director, news director and program director, he is active with a number of influential public broadcasting organizations and is a regular leader or panelist at national conferences. 

A trained musician, Hanley had an active performing career in years past, including vocal work in choral, operatic, musical theater and jazz combo settings, plus instrumental work as a trombonist. Although he performs infrequently, he is most likely to be heard these days singing jazz in a small group setting.
