Ed Case

A

amyakker

I was sorry to read that Ed Case passed away on New Year's Day. Those who have been in the market for a while will remember Ed's work on the air and in sales at KTRH for 30 years. He spun records on his show "And All That Jazz" while at KTRH, and after his retirement there (retiring from KTRH? Think about that for a minute...), he joined us for several years at KRTS, playing classical music and doing voice work. What a set of pipes!

A true gentleman, an outstanding broadcaster, and a record collector extraordinaire. Rest in peace, Big Ed...
 
Thanks for sharing the sad news about Ed Case -- I never met him, but he was a big influence on me when I was teen growing up in Port Arthur catching his KTRH Jazz Show EVERY Saturday night -- I learned a lot about jazz listening to Ed, knowledge I carry with me today.

But above all, Ed's voice and on-air style influenced me to enter the radio biz as a deejay at age 16 -- although to this day (40 years later) I can't even come close to that remarkable voice and classy style.

Rest in Peace, Ed.
 
Sorry to hear about Ed. And, yes, he goes back to the days when KTRH and all the other AMs played music. Not many people remember those days. Seems like KTRH did join CBS in the mornings, for Arthur Godfrey. But, I remember Ed's jazz show on the weekends.
 
I haven't looked at this board in months, so I'm just now seeing this. I am very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed played an important part in shaping my taste in music, years before I ever worked in radio. When I began to show an interest in playing drums at a young age, my mom wanted me to hear a Louie Bellson song called "Sticks". Unable to find the track anywhere, someone suggested she contact Ed. He was kind enough to make a cassette of the song and filled the rest of the tape with several other jazz tracks that prominently featured drums. I once had the pleasure meeting him in the hallway of the old KLOL/KTRH compound on Lovett Blvd and was able to thank him in person.
