San Francisco-based Veteran Jazz Pianist and Radio Host Dick Conte

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with San Francisco Based Jazz Pianist & Radio Host at KCSM 91.1 Dick Conte .. He opened up about his latest 2018 CD Blue in Green – A tribute to Bill Evans .. He talked about how he arrived in San Francisco in 1961 from his native Connecticut and has since become an integral part of the Bay Area jazz scene with his encyclopedic knowledge of jazz,  formidable jazz radio presence (from the fabled KJAZ days to present-day KCSM and KKSF),  and his piano performances at clubs, festivals and private venues.  Along with a defined prowess as a musician, he’s a three-time nominee for Gavin Magazine’s Jazz Broadcaster of the Year ..
