Thanks for posting this--Conover was a jazz-radio giant.  We still have the Night Lights tribute, which includes an interview with Conover biographer Terry Ripmaster, posted online:

CLAUDIO RODITI: BRAZILLIANCE + 4

ONE OF THE MOST ADDED RECORDS.  Ready For Audition Now! 

A high water mark for everyone involved..., Roditi lets his chops fly in a
joyful noise that raises everyone's game. A must hear set for all
jazz/world/Brazil fans looking for that set that goes beyond Jobim.  Dominated
by Roditi original tunes, this set opens the ears in fine fashion giving the
listener a lively, meaty, full blooded date to enjoy repeatedly.  Hot stuff.

CHRISTIAN HOWES with Roger Kellaway: HEARTFELT 

DEBUT @ 27 * 

Howes continues to win over fans ... and radio.  Please take a listen to this
exceptional player. Kellaway's piano playing is powerful and swinging
throughout. The interplay between Christian and Roger is amazingly intuitive for
a first encounter. Christian's trademark passion pours through his
instrument. Kellaway, an uber-mainstream pianist who has played with practically
every jazz violinist of note -- Stephane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Ray Nance,
Jean-Luc Ponty, etc. -- says of the Berklee College of Music teacher,
''I think Christian is a major talent''

''The balance Heartfelt achieves here between solo, group interplay and
orchestration is quite remarkable and leaves a lasting impression.''
