Mike Longo RIP


Recommended Posts

I did not know him or take lessons with him, as I think some here have (T?), however the announcement of his passing came up on my Facebook feed because we have mutual friends, and I see it hasn't been posted yet. Apparently he was a victim of the coronavirus. I know he gave classes and played with his big band every week at the Bahai Center in NYC, and was much admired for his teaching efforts. Sadly, I never got to experience seeing his band. Please everyone stay home and stay safe - these are scary times.

This is ominous.

 

I had often considered getting one of the improv books he used to advertise in down Beat. I hope this material will still be available because I think Mike was on to something.

 

He was possibly Dizzy Gillespie's most avid student.
