Reupert, House Manger of 'the Listening Room', describes Bill Denk as, "An
expressive modern jazz guitarist, with pastoral folk, funk grooves, and rock
energy."  'Prairie Fire', his newly released CD, is a metaphor
for renewal and growth in the face that all is lost. Denk also hosts a weekly
radio show on Harvard Community Radio on AM1610. His radio show is titled The
Northern Sky Jazz Show and airs on Wednesday's from 7pm to 9pm. The radio
program features jazz music by local and Chicago area musicians, interviews
with local jazz figures, as well as news and events. Denk is an active musician
and patron of Jazz. He also is the President of Jazz on the Square in a
501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Woodstock, Illinois, where their
mission is to provide the best live jazz performance and education in northern
Illinois. Denk hosts the bi-monthly Jazz Jam's at Stage Left Café. Even with
his thorough involvement in the world of Jazz, Denk still finds time to work at
Abbott Laboratories during the day.
