One on One with Dick Buckley
|

Dick Buckley and Richard Steele playing jazz records (WBEZ/Jason Marck) |
If microphones could speak, they would sing the praises of Dick Buckley. His rich baritone has been making them all sound good for nearly 60 years. And the message that voice has been delivering for most of those years is one of an everlasting love of jazz music. Buckley’s radio career began in the late forties at a 250 watt station in Fort Wayne, not far from his boyhood home in Decatur, Indiana. In the mid-fifties, Buckley found his way to Chicago, and since then his voice has been one of the most recognizable on local airwaves. In 1977, he brought his jazz program to WBEZ.
Buckley recently announced his retirement, and this Sunday afternoon he’ll deliver his farewell broadcast on Chicago Public Radio. In 2004, Chicago Public Radio’s Steve Edwards talked with Buckley, who said that deep voice of his was once even deeper....

David Finkel, Detroit MI // Friday, July 25, 2008 @ 11:42 AM
As a teenager in Chicago in the early 1960s, my education in jazz music began with the radio programs of Dick Buckley -- on a commercial AM station, no less, and a nightly hourlong program on WNIB-FM, which I had to tune in at very low volume as everyone else was asleep. That's where I first heard Lester Young "At His Very Best," Oliver Nelson's "Blues and the Abstract Truth" and occasionally even some Coltrane "Chasing the Trane." Along with the immortal "Daddy-O Daylie," Mr. Buckley brought this astonishing music to the ears of more than one generation. Congratulations on a tremendous career and for persevering through the down times when the "experts" said jazz was dead.

A couple years ago I worked in a store where all they played when it was open is top 40 music. In a week I could stand listening to the radio. I was driving home from work one Sunday afternoon and came across Dick's program and I have been hooked ever since. I began planning to be in the car when his program was on so I would get to hear more of it. I want to thank Mr. Buckley for exposing me to a lot of the Jazz, big band, and swing that I would have never heard if it wasn't for him.

I was at Andy's the night Dick's 65th birthday was celebrated. I walked up to him and said "Dick please don't retire". He said "Oh no". That was how many years ago and I've enjoyed him since then. Thanks Dick!

I have been listening to Buckley since the early fifties! Thank goodness for the internet. "Happiness.!"

Mr. Buckley, thank you for enriching my Sunday afternoons with your behind-the-music accounts and insight into a jazz artist's life. What a run you've had! : ) I'm only sorry I didn't join in on the fun earlier than I did. (eight years)

The end of Jazz on BEZ (tear). What about making the breadth of Mr. Buckley's program archive available via Podcast? (big smile)

Edia Lamboy, Palmer Square // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:12 PM
My husband and myself have been listening to Dick for the past 15 years, hosted several champagne brunches and also listened to the program through at half-time with the Da' Bears.
You will be missed!

Joan Parker, Grand Haven, MI // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:20 PM
I will miss your wonderful show --- your program has made many winter Sunday afternoons in Chicago so enjoyable for me. You are a true champion of traditional jazz. Thanks Dick. You're the Best!!! Best wishes on your "retirement."

Rodolfo B., Logan Square // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:24 PM
I will miss Dick Buckley and his program. He always played great recordings and told us a little something about the artists. Its sad that WBEZ will not be replacing his program with Jazz. Why can BWEZ podcast some of Dick Buckley's programs, or at least heave them available for listening over the internet.

Jim Tvrdik, Western Springs, IL // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:26 PM
Dick: Congratulations on your retirement - Sunday afternoons will never be the same.
I have been a listener for the last 10 years, and I will miss hearing your voice and great jazz.
Perhaps we will hear you again in the future - by the way, what is the name of your new intro/exit song - it's another classic!
Best regards - you will be missed!

Alistair, Old Town // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:37 PM
Dick,
I'm very sad as I listen to you at 2:40pm on your final live on-air WBEZ show. I've been a fan since I moved here 14 years ago. THANK YOU, you'll be missed.

Craig Baskin, Boston, MA by way of Chicago // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:38 PM
Sunday afternoons, were the best of the week, listening to Dick. Dick played great music, putting his sets together with great skill, while sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of jazz with us. He will be greatly missed.

James T. Edwards, Rogers Park Chicago // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 2:58 PM
I and many others mourn the end of WBEZ as the jazz station of record in Chicago. I especially will miss Dick Buckley and Richard Steele for what they've taught me about jazz.

Allan and Paula Pacente, Billings Montana // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:15 PM
Dick- We are originally from the Chicagoland area and moved to Billings 15 years ago. We were avid listeners in Illinois and once we went internet we started listening to you again. It was a Sunday highlight for us. I can understand that you want to retire, but we will miss you very much. I hope WBEZ can run some of your previous shows. Best of everything to you and yours!

Brian Urbanik, Ukrainian Village Chicago // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:25 PM
Oh my god!
Thanks for bringing Jazz to me and enriching my musical life. Thanks for interviewing Dorothy Donegan years ago and getting me to go see her at the Bismarck Hotel before both the Bismark and Ms. Donegan left us. Thanks for every Sunday since I moved to the city in 1989.
Thanks.
PS. Shame on WBEZ without jazz. Send your money to WDCB where jazz lives.

25 yr old Chicago gal, on the back porch, near Riis Park // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:25 PM
Dick Buckley, you're voice is more familiar and heartwarming to me than my own grandfather's voice.
Your name and voice will be remembered forever and always instantly recognized. Thank you for sharing your favorite music and for cajoling me into dancing to the radio on Sundays.
Please don't quit us cold turkey. Give us at least a couple shows every month!
I strongly agree that the Buckley archive should be available as podcasts on WBEZ. As important as the music itself is the valuable historical context and personal details that could only come from a respected insider, a contemporary of these musicians, and an artist in himself:
The Mr. Dick Buckley.
WBEZ give him anything he wants, just keep him on the air!

John Kikta, Downers Grove // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:27 PM
I will miss really Dick;I have listened to his various shows over the years, have heard his wonderful music, and tried to absorb a bit of his vast knowledge of the business. I hope he enjoys his retirement. At the same time, I hope he can find a way to continue to share his jazz withthe world.

Cole, evanston // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:46 PM
dick buckley should become a podcast, he is a legend, if not a podcast, at least keep reruns of his shown on, they're the best

Dezi Seabrooks, Naperville, IL // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:51 PM
Dick, I moved to the Chicago area in 1987 and quickly found WBEZ and you. Your show has been part of the sound track of my life for 21 years. Best wishes. I'll miss you.

Bill Phillips, Chicago // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 3:57 PM
As listen to your theme song for the last time, thank you Dick and much happiness to you. To the management: there is nothing left to listen to on WBEZ. The remaining lineup is a waste of air. May I have my past membership money back? My money now goes to WDCB.

Dick Buckley,
As dedicated Sunday listeners to your program, we thank you dearly for sharing your music and stories with us. It was a spectacular show and we will miss it greatly!
|
|
Brian T., Hyde Park // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:03 PM
Buck! Why? I have shared many Sundays with you, in various states of dress and often with a hangover. I loved that you stuck with big band instead of conducting a survey of jazz. Makes it feel like real music instead of a topic in history. You have a great connection with every side and it always comes through. Thanks for everything!
|
|
Braverhund, Naperville // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:07 PM
Thank you Mr. Buckley. You showed Chicago what Cool was. You re-opened the many great old ballrooms of the past and put us at the front table. You will be missed.
|

John Shepley, Oak Park // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:10 PM
My Father introduced Mr. Buckley's show to me early. My love for Jazz has grown ever since. I've learned a thing or two in the meantime. My Sunday's will have a void after July 27th. Thank You for touching my life.

Dianee, old irving // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:13 PM
I moved to chicago on a cold Feb. back in 1993.Not being used to the frigid weather, I stayed in on Sunday afternoons and by chance discovered Dick and a new life-long love for jazz. Jazz on WBEZ seems to be dying a slow death.What a shame - Dick got me hooked on Jazz and I stayed tuned to WBEZ for other programming because of him. I cannot express the loss this will be to me...Dick was my sunday afternoon date - my time to listen and be taken back to the days of the cotton club, the savoy. Back to the golden age of jazz by an insider who was there...it was romantic...it was great and I feel fortunate to have been a fan from my first Sunday in Chicago
WE WILL MISS YOU GREATLY DICK BUCKLEY!!! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING YOUR RECORDS FOR ME!
|

Peg Barry, Lincoln Square // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:19 PM
Oh Buck - I thought it was bad enough when they reduced you to one hour and now - what do I do with my Sundays. I have always called your time on the air, my "Holy Hour" - used to be 3 hours then 1 hour and now - none? I'll be like a junkie next Sunday looking for my fix - what to do? I shall miss you after all these wonderful years and the many many hours I spent listening to and learning from your marvelous show!!! My best wishes go with you dear friend. Perhaps WBEZ will wise up and include more music (jazz of course) rather than all the talk we all get too much of.

Jeanine, Park Ridge // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:25 PM
Dick, thank you for sharing your wonderful memories music with us for so many years! Your program will be missed by many.

John Simley, Bentonville, Arkansas // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:25 PM
Even though it is coming to an end, I congratulate WBEZ for giving Dick Buckley a home for so many years. We knew this day would come before podcasts were introduced but, luckily, many of us have been recording these programs for years.
On one program, Dick wondered aloud how Sam Nanton could coax a "ya-ya" sound from his trombone. Nanton never gave up the secret, but here it is: he used a trumpet straight mute with an oversize plumber's plunger, and sang notes while manipulating his soft palate. While it required enormous power from the diaphragm to punch out the notes, this ventriloquist's method generated the "ya" sound no one else could duplicate. Once on stage, he blew so hard that his tuning slide flew off, leaving him silent one note into his solo and sending Barney Bigard into stitches.
These are the kinds of stories Dick provided that made his program unlike any other.
All the best Mr. Buckley, from a loyal listener since 1986.

Lisa Vanderbleek, NW suburbs // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:45 PM
For as long as I can remember we have enjoyed your smooth voice and vast collection of jazz. Through you, my father passed his love of this music down to me, just as I hope I have done for my own children. We mourn your retirement as the end of what has been a part of our Sunday listening for so many years. You have instilled a love of jazz in many, and we will always be a fan, but for us your program was not only about the music. Thank you for sharing you.
Such a mistake by WBEZ! WDCB carries Steve Cushing's Blues Before Sunrise, but for jazz on the radio, this is a great loss to us all.

Ronald Salemme, Wauconda, IL // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:46 PM
I have been listening to Dick Buckley since before he was on Public Radio. He has given me hours of joy. I will really miss listening to him, and I wish him the best. Sundays will not be the same without him.

We need Dick Buckley.
We need you too, Gretchen.
Come back, my friends!
Save Chicago Public Radio!

val, lake villa // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 4:53 PM
Happiness? Sadness! My Sunday afternoons lose a great deal of pleasure and richness without Dick. No one could replace him, but was consideration given to him passing the baton to someone with a love of the brand of jazz music that Dick faithfully delivered? Maybe I've answered my own question. Is there no one left with any depth of knowledge or passion about this music? WBEZ would be heralded for not to allowing this music and this Sunday afternoon destination for so many to die without a serious effort to fill this great void in Chicago history and culture that Dick's retirement presents. In any event, thank you Dick, I' ll miss you!

Jason Wyckoff, Lombard, then Lakeview, now Grayslake // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 5:01 PM
Dick -
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for all the years we've shared together. I started listening to you 15 years ago when I was in high school - and I think back to all the Sundays we shared and I smile! You will be missed!
I believe I speak for all of Chicago when I say THANK YOU!

Bob Silverstein, Elk Grove Village // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 6:11 PM
Good bye Dick, good bye WBEZ.
Thanks to Dick, I developed an appreciation of jazz and listened loyally for many, many years. I will miss him.
I also say good bye to WBEZ because Dick was the last local programming I listened to. What is left is not interesting and a lot of dumming down. I cannot believe how bad the once great station has become. I do not need WBEZ any more; I get the national feeds via the Internet.

Lew Basnight, Wicker Park // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 7:14 PM
I'm deeply saddened that you've decided to retire, but I can't blame you either-- you've been at it for so long. I used to listen to your programs while washing the dishes as a kid, and I've listened ever since. Your program has been one of the highlights of Sunday afternoon (shortened or not) and you will be deeply, dearly missed.
Enjoy your retirement. Happiness!

Paul Pelke, Winfield, IL // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 8:15 PM
I grew up in the 60's with rock and roll, the Beatles, etc. Then 25 years ago I accidently tuned into Dick's program and our family has been listening ever since. I am now a true fan of traditional jazz. You can listen to jazz 24/7 on XM but that is like listening to Muzak compared to Dick Thank you! Best wishes in your retirement.

Steve, Oak Park // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 9:25 PM

Carl Johnson, Crown Point, IN // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 10:15 PM
Thank you Mr. Buckley. I was sad when the all night jazz program ended. I was sad when the Dick Buckley show went from 3 hours to 1 hour. Now the retirement is a large void for my listening. I still love public radio and listen many hours most days. A show like this is so specific, having a host that was there and can tell us what it was like to live it. If my math is correct, anyone with that kind of experience with 'the greats', the big bands, and real swing would be hitting retirement. While you listen at home on your own schedule, I will do the same thanks to the appreciation earned from you. It's the end of an era. Thank you again and I wish you the best.

Roger Connolly, Arlington Heights // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 11:19 PM
Cannot begin to express the profound void I'll feel at noon and/or 2pm each Sunday. Dick's program was a joy beyond words. I may have to reach for cassette recordings of his programs to fill the void. Joyous retirement wishes to Dick, a man who brought great music to so many near and far.
|

Peter Rekdahl, Ravenswood // Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 11:28 PM
Thank you so much Mr. Buckley! You have taught me so much about jazz, and led me to so much music I wanted to know about, and which I enjoy so much. You have been a dependable joy available each Sunday afternoon. The lives of so many of us will be diminished without you. I hope your decision to retire was you own and not WBEZ's; a radio station where popularity with the right demographic is everything, and quality is a word that is not understood.
|
|
Greg Kohut, Arlington Heights // Monday, July 28, 2008 @ 1:30 AM
I've listened to jazz on 91.5 since 1990. Is there any left ? Am I wrong suggesting Dick Buckley also spun records during the usual nightly 8pm to 4am slot for jazz also ? No DJ came close to Dick. Period. He is a giant. He will be missed and he cannot be replaced. Streaming internet radio stations have a fundamental flaw--they do not have the human element to the music. That's what Dick so graciously shared with all of our eager ears for decades.

Mary Jo Kanady, Glenview // Monday, July 28, 2008 @ 1:00 PM
I've enjoyed listening to Dick Buckley on Sunday afternoons for many years and just want to say thanks to Dick for all the wonderful hours of great music and wish him all the best in his retirement years. Listening to Dick Buckley was a real education. I learned a lot about jazz and was introduced to some musicians I hadn't heard of before. I'll never understand why WBEZ chose to get rid of so much of their music programming. I was disappointed when WBEZ dropped Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz and reduced Dick Buckley's show from 3 hours to 1 hour, but at least I still had that one hour to look forward to on Sunday afternoons. I will miss listening to Dick Buckley on Sundays, and I urge WBEZ to rebroadcast his old programs so that those of us who love traditional jazz and loved listening to Dick Buckley educate us about the music and the musicians can continue to enjoy them.

Heather, Evanston // Monday, July 28, 2008 @ 2:58 PM
I first heard Mr. Buckley's show in 1991, while driving home in an awful snowstorm after an especially long day at work. Scanning the dial for something to keep me company, I found a sweetly scratchy recording and then that wonderful, resonant voice. No one else ever has, and no one else ever will, sound as good as Dick Buckley. At first I let the music be "background" to grading or reading or schoolwork, but it didn't take long for me to stop working and really LISTEN. Dick Buckley told the stories that made the music come alive, and I am deeply grateful. Who else could do an entire hour in October on variations of "Christopher Columbus" and leave the listener wanting even more? For all the artists he's introduced us to (Jon Kirby has become my good-luck charm) and all of the wonderful stories he's told, I don't know how to say "thank you." I join everyone here on these boards in wishing Mr. Buckley a lifetime of HAPPINESS.

My boss absolutly loves Dick Buckley and would love to get a copy of this show. So i was wondering how i could get a copy of this show and if it would cost anything or not. If anyone knows how i would be able to, please tell me at hempfod@aol.com. Thank you

Stephen, NW Indiana // Wednesday, July 30, 2008 @ 2:28 PM
I'll never forget his final show. He ended on Duke Ellington's "C Jam Blues," which he said showcased how Ellington could take the simplest of ideas and turn it into a work of genius. As Buckley signed off: "I hate saying goodbye, but, goodbye. Happiness."

Dirk, Edgewater // Wednesday, July 30, 2008 @ 8:51 PM
Dick, your voice and music on Sunday afternoons will be sorely missed. Thanks for gracing us with your presence and with your amazing selection of jazz. Nobody knows it like you. Your presence makes this a better place to live and makes us all better people.
To WBEZ -- PLEASE make Mr. Buckley's archive available on the website if possible. The time, energy, and knowledge that this man has shared should be accessible if possible. Memories are good, but I want music!

Ronald K. Marsh, Auburn/ Gresham // Thursday, July 31, 2008 @ 7:16 AM
I've been a cab driver in Chicago for 38 years, and have been listening to Dick Buckley since about 1976, and I have loved every broadcast!
Dick I have learned so much about jazz, and jazz artist, listening too you.
I've also had the pleasure of meeting you three times.
I am the guy that gave you the tape of Linda Prince interviewing Sonny Stitt. She asked him a dumb question, and you now how Sonny can light into someone that ask a stupid question!
Anyway Dick, you are the best, love the great stories about different jazz people, hope maybe to catch you at The Jazz Showcase one night.
YOU ARE THE THE TOP JAZZ DJ IN CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my humble opinion which I value highly!!!!!!!

Aileen Morrissey, Wood Dale, IL // Thursday, July 31, 2008 @ 9:39 AM
I've been listening to Dick Buckley on Sunday afternoons since the day I was born - that was only 23 years ago, but Mr. Buckley's well earned retirement means a lifestyle change for me. Please, someone, make Dick's programs available on CD. I'll buy the entire anthology so I can continue listening with my Dad on Sundays until the end of our days. Many blessings.

Tim Shepherd, Schaumburg/Bloomingdale // Thursday, July 31, 2008 @ 4:28 PM
I had not been a great fan of circa 40's jazz until I moved to Chicago in 1995. I looked forward to hearing Dick's program every week and learned quite a bit. I worried a little bit for his health recently, and when his show was cut back from 2 hrs to 1 I was disappointed. When I heard him make comments under his breath after that about "I'm not supposed to talk so much", I was a little annoyed with WBEZ's management.
I was greatly pleased and relieved to hear his last show and to see that Management did him right at the end. Best of luck and health to you Dick!

|
Lisa, Lincoln Square // Thursday, July 31, 2008 @ 5:07 PM
Mr. Buckley, I will miss you. You have taught me a lot about jazz over the 26 years I've been in Chicago, and have introduced me to artists who have become favorites (e.g., Art Tatum). I'm sorry that you will no longer be offering your show -- Chicago shall be poorer for its absence. I hope, however, that you enjoy your retirement and many years of happiness to come.

Judy, Sandburg Village, then Ukrainian Village, now Indian Head Park // Thursday, July 31, 2008 @ 9:28 PM
We had a death in our family last week, so I was not able to catch your last show, Mr. Buckley. And now we're mourning the death of a family member and of jazz on WBEZ!
I'm hoping Mr. Malatia reads all these wonderful testimonials to the power of radio to transmit an individual's passion about a music genre ... in particular, Dick Buckley's wonderful mix of passion, knowledge, insider info -- and the joy of jazz.
Puh-leez, WBEZ - bring back some solid jazz programming.
As for Mr. Buckley, here's hoping your retirement is filled with only the sweet, high notes.
Bon sante!

Joseph, Argo-Summit // Friday, August 01, 2008 @ 8:53 AM
As a teenager I knew that I had a growing interest in Jazz. At that time, I can remember scanning the radio stations one weekend for any program that would serve up a great dish of the hot stuff. It was Dick Buckley's voice that followed the first set of music I came upon. I can honestly say that Dick Buckley's presentation of the “good ol' good ones,” fostered what is a lifelong obsession with Jazz. His commentary and context could only enhance appreciation of the music and its people. Mr. Buckley, I am eternally grateful.

Suzanne, Pilsen // Friday, August 01, 2008 @ 1:36 PM
Mr. Buckley,
My husband and I will miss your show greatly! Your take on classic jazz was one of a kind. I don't think we learned about jazz as much from anyone else! Enjoy your retirement - you will be greatly missed!

Mark &Margaret Torbit, Hobart IN // Monday, August 04, 2008 @ 12:13 PM
We will miss you so much Mr. Buckley how you made our Sun afternoons special!!! Our late cat "Cagney " danced many a Sun afternoon to the music you played and the late " Anton " the cat, many a Sunday slept under our old radio listening to " Dick Buckley " we especially remember his last Sunday .. You brought everything together for us. Walking thru our 1928 home listening to your show , well it was like walking through a Woody Allen film .You will never know how much we appreciated your musical honesty & insight .A musical line can be drawn from John Holt's writings in Never Too Late to the musical experiences you have related. In our book YOU discover Wes Montgomery , who through fellow master guitarist Steve Howe plays such an important part in our lives. So many times we have commented " I bet Dick Buckley would enjoy / or understand the musical significances of this or that .....” We so enjoyed the interview you did on Chicago Tonight a few years back. Please enjoy your well deserved retirement & we wish you every Happiness.

Fayth, Gold Coast // Wednesday, August 06, 2008 @ 2:53 PM
Oh I'm going to miss this show so very much. I'd love it if the shows were put onto CD and available for purchase. We all learned so much about jazz and the back-stories. Dick made his show so interesting and I'm not even a jazz fan.
