Mr. Cennamo was also an excellent instructor at Emerson College in the mid 80s. He taught a course, History Of Jazz, which a lot of non-musical students took as an elective because it satisfied 2 course requirements: Fine Arts & Minority studies. He took a subject which was foreign & remote to some of us and made it fascinating. His love & knowledge of Jazz shined very brightly to this student. R.I.P.

<p>I was lucky enough to have Tony C. for not one, but two! courses at Emerson in the early '80s: </p>
<ul>
<li>History of Jazz (which Kylebook spoke very well to):
<ul>
<li> To this day, I think of Tony Cennamo and names like Jelly Roll Morton in the same mental 'breath.' </li>
<li>It was so exquisitely enjoyable and world-broadening, just sitting en masse in class, listening to a seminal piece that Tony clued us in to. </li>
<li>Getting a glimpe into the jazz psyche and vernacular, including a moment I never forget: Tony's having to explain to us college students what the <em>SOL</em> in "SOL Blues" stands for.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<blockquote>
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<li>Radio Announcing and Production:
Getting Tony's coaching, and then practice with his feedback on skills like ...</li>
<ul>
<li>cueing up songs and doing the talk-intro to the point when the vocals start</li>
<li>respecting the popping power of plosives [alliteration intentional] when 'in range' of a mike</li>
<li>getting to free-wheel a bit, doing mock commercials in voice characterizations</li>
</ul>
</ul>
As you might guess ... I'll never forgot Tony C.

Please see corrected post immediately above.
Tony had a great knowledge for jazz and was a great guy.
When I got married in 1974, my wife and I never missed his "New Morning" show on WBUR.(What a great station that was).
And in the '80s when I worked the overnight, I would listen to him all night.
I feel like I lost a good friend.
