LONGINEU PARSONS…has been hailed by critics as one of the world’s finest trumpet players. He is also a master of recorders, flute, percussion, and sings the blues. His music crosses genres and defies classification. It’s jazz, it’s funk, it’s blues, it’s classic, it’s urban, it’s world fusion, it’s good. His music serves as a metaphor for crossing restrictive boundaries that separate people and confine human potential. .
AN INTERNATIONAL PERFORMER Longineu has performed in some thirty countries in North, South and Central America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. His audiences have included such dignitaries as the King of Morocco, the President of Gabon, the Royal Family of the Netherlands, the President of Austria, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and the Royal Family of Monaco.
