and educator since 1996. His latest CD on Blujazz productions, /Mirage
<http://www.blujazz.com/bio_OConnor.html>/, spent eight weeks on the
national jazz radio charts and garnered such praise as *"With his hearty
sound and bristling ideas, O'Connor can bowl over even a jaded follower
of post-bop jazz." */- Neil Tesser, Author, The Playboy Guide to Jazz,
and Host of Miles Ahead (1240 AM Chicago)./
O'Connor is currently a doctoral candidate in the jazz program at the
University of Illinois and is studying with Chip McNeill and Chip Stephens.
