In July 2009, All About Jazz published an interview with legendary pianist and Philly Pops maestro Peter Nero. That interview jumped between his early musical development and his current 30-year tenure as founder and music director of the Philly Pops. There wasn't time then to ask him about the long intervening period including his salad days as a pianist, an ongoing venture which he continues to pursue in addition to being director of the Pops, the subject of this follow-up interview.



Once again AAJ Contributor Victor L. Schermer digs deep with Nero, conversing with the pianist/conductor about growing up during World War II, his rapid rise from clubs and radio to the Boston Pops, working with Mel Tormé and Frank Sinatra, and much, much more.
