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.
