Leveraging the technique developed through his classical training, the traditional jazz experience of his youth, and the feel developed through his days on the Chitlin Circuit, Longineu Parsons presents a comprehensive arsenal of jazz not often heard. His advanced degrees in classical trumpet performance and composition may suggest a middle-aged turn away from jazz, but that’s not at all the case. Parsons views music holistically – he doesn’t see different things, and may have a jazz influence in a classical piece or vice versa. New music includes that which came before it, but also the other things on planet Earth that are happening in music and sound. He sees no conflict between musics – just problem-solving by putting different genres together.
Dr. Longineu Parsons, II, is Professor of Music at Florida A&M University and is President of Tribal Disorder Records. Leveraging the technique developed through his classical training, the traditional jazz experience of his youth, and the feel developed through his days on the Chitlin Circuit, Parsons presents a comprehensive arsenal of jazz not often heard. He has performed and recorded with an impressive list of music greats including Nat Adderley, Cab Calloway, Frank Foster, Billy Harper, Philly Joe Jones, Herbie Mann, David Murray, Sam Rivers, Cecil Taylor, Joe Williams, Nancy Wilson, and others.
