I was privileged to work as Host at the Solo Piano Stage for 21st Piano Night.

Michael "Mr. Jazz" Gourrier

Once again it was my privledge and pleasure to join with George Ingmire in bringing Piano Night to the 'OZ audience, live as it happened. Even if we did have to be in the "Cold Room" all night.

May All Your Blues Be On The Radio....
