Rob Heller, professor, has often impressed his students with his academic talents.  Now he is being recognized for his musical talent.  In this recent Knoxville.com article, http://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/dec/01/tennessee-schmaltz-mixes-its-klezmer-wine-with-a/, Heller and his band are highlighted for their unique brand of music.
