Eye on UMSL: Pre-interview banter

Eye on UMSL: Pre-interview banter

UMSL Chancellor Tom George jokes with Ruth Ezell of KETC (Channel 9) as Matt Bowman makes last-minute camera adjustments before an interview for an upcoming segment of “Living St. Louis.” The locally produced magazine series will profile Jim Widner, renowned bassist and director of jazz studies at UMSL. Ezell interviewed George, an accomplished jazz pianist, about Widner’s role as a faculty member and the times they’ve shared the stage together.

The photograph was taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
