Ted O'Reilly Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 That would be Hal Hill, who died about three years ago. He had a once-weekly jazz show over the years that ran on a couple of just-out-of-Toronto cities; did a bit of record distribution and worked in a Sam The Record Man franchise jazz section; took over John Norris' Jazz and Blues Record Centre in downtown Toronto for several years; started and ran the Markham Jazz Festival (Markham's a satellite-city); and made a record or two of his favourite players over the years. Hal was a very nice man, and a big fan of Art Pepper, and I recall him being at the Bourbon St. club every night Art played there. Most likely did the interview there, or at his hotel. I talked to Art, too, but don't have a copy of the interview. All 300+ that I did over the years were on the shelf when I left CJRT-FM, but I have no idea if they survived management changes and studio moves.
