Tony Cennamo was for 25 years a jazz disk jockey on Boston University's WBUR. [1] When he had a morning show in the 1970s and 1980s he began his show with Oliver Nelson's Stolen Moments.
Current WGBH jazz disk jockey Steve Schwartz cited him as a major inspiration. [2]
Cennamo started his radio career as a producer of a talk radio show at CBS. He was also the program director at the old WCAS-AM. In 1986 he represented the city of Boston in an exchange program with Melbourne, Australia to lecture about jazz history and appear on radio programs (Emerson Beacon, Winter 1989). A tribute was given to him at Beerklee Performance Center in September of 1997 to honor his quarter century at WBUR. Sissy Smith, James Williams, Tony Zano, Pill Wilson, and Rebecca Parris were the headliners at this event. (Boston Herald, Thursday, September 25, 1997. Arts and Lifestyles.)
