Larry Smith (http://www.wbez.org/blog/justin-kaufmann/2011-06-28/wbez-colleagues-remember-legendary-jazz-radio-host-larry-smith-88465). (And, yes, I feel sullied merely for linking to them.) I seem to recall his having an unfortunately lax attitude regarding female vocalists, but I do put on the Julius Hemphill Sextet now and again.
Actually, that may have been Steele who was lax. Oh, G-d, or the Tesser nightmare. Yes, this is the story I will hew to.
