MIKE LONGO
Get Down and Get Funky for the Holiday Season!!!
Treat yourself to a whole new world of funk music when the phenomenal
Mike Longo Funk Band returns to "Jazz Tuesdays" on Tuesday, December
14 in the Gillespie Auditorium at the New York Baha'i Center at 53
East 11th Street (between University Place & Broadway). There will be
2 shows at 8:00 and 9:30.
Call 212-222-5159 for reservations and
information.
This outstanding band consists of the best jazz musicians in New
York:
Waldron Ricks on Trumpet
Bob Magnuson on Sax
Mark Williams on Trombone
Christian Fabian on Bass
Ray Marchica on Drums
Mike Longo, a Steinway artist, has performed with a list of jazz
legends that include saxophone great
Cannonball Adderley,
Henry Red Allen,
Coleman Hawkins,
George Wettling,
Gene Krupa,
Nancy Wilson,
Gloria Lynn,
Jimmy Witherspoon,
Joe Williams,
Jimmy Rushing,
James Moody and many others.
It was in the mid-60s when Longo’s trio was playing at the Embers West, that Roy Eldridge told
Dizzy Gillespie about this new pianist he had heard. Dizzy came to hear him play and soon asked him to become his pianist. This started a life-long
musical relationship and friendship.
From 1966 through 1975, Long worked exclusively as Dizzy’s pianist and musical director.
Mike left the Gillespie group officially in 1975 to venture out on his own, but
continued to work for Gillespie on a part-time basis until his death
in 1993. Since that time Mike has recorded numerous albums and CDs on
various labels with some 45 recordings with artists such as Gillespie,
James Moody, etc. At present he has over 20 solo albums to his
credit. He is sought after as a music instructor and is in demand for
jazz clinics and concerts at universities and music schools throughout
the world, and has appeared at the Lincoln Center’s new jazz room
“Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola.” Longo is founder and President of
Consolidated Artists Productions (CAP), an independent recording
label, dedicated to allowing artists to pursue the types of projects
that are in line with their career objectives. All of the artists
represented by CAP (over 70) are extraordinarily talented, both as
composers and performers. Longo’s latest venture, Jazz Tuesdays, is
dedicated to allowing artists to retain creative control of their work
and providing students and the general public with an opportunity to
hear “world class jazz at affordable prices.”
Admission is 15.00, 10.00 for students.
Tickets will be sold at the door, or call 212-222-5159 for
reservations and information.
