Fort Wayne musician, Eric Clancy has a passion for piano playing that began when he was five, then turned into a full time profession more than twenty years ago.

This Sunday, along with Bryan Nellems and Michael Patterson, he'll be sharing his special "piano perspective" in the season kick off of Wunderkammer's Big Apple Jazz 2nd Sunday Series.

For an insight on what fuels that drive, WBOI's Julia Meek coaxed Eric away from his keyboard and into the studio to discuss how playing, teaching, and composing music in the "key of Clancy" has shaped his journey.
