Eric Jackson, WGBH jazz host
he was not well-known enough to even have his own entry in wikipedia, but when I moved out here from Michigan, the Boston PBS FM radio station, WGBH, had a jazz program. the soothing voice of Eric in the Evening was a treasure many a night. He'd always open his show with "Peace", the Horace Silver tune performed by Tommy Flanagan:

i accidently made this a reply to a post by Percy, instead of a general reply.
i don't know how to fix that. sorry Percy.
