“I remember Jess Anderson and his wonderful show
Classical Omelet. Saw him many times at UW faculty piano concerts over the years, where he always said hello. He was brilliant and funny, with an encyclopedic knowledge of classical music and exquisite taste. In another era I can imagine him having a salon for musical luminaries and the wickedly funny where everyone played and dished to their hearts’ content.
