Dick Buckley passed away at 85 on July, 22, 2010.  WBEZ was lucky enough to employ Dick Buckley for 31 years. When he started here around 1977 he hadn’t played jazz on the radio for 10 years. 

This Sunday Special is the recording of his first shift on “Jazz Forum” recorded in our old studios at 228 N LaSalle and an excerpt from a 2004 interview with Steve Edwards.
