It has come to our attention that another Jazz Giant has passed, Jon Lucien. This has been a Summer of significant passings in all fields of Entertainment and Public spheres. Our Hearts go out to those closest to the Jazz great. I had the opportunity to meet the man himself just three years ago at the TRUMPETS Jazz club in New Jersey. A gentle and humble man, Jon Lucien played a mean guitar, and sang mostly mellow tunes. He will be missed and, he joins the great Max Roach among significant passings in this Summer of 2007. Funeral arrangements have not been announced at this time. Stay tuned for updates. On funeral details about services for Max Roach, please visit our sister Blog, Jazz and World Beat.

JON LUCIEN DIED ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 18, 2007 OF RESPIRATORY FAILURE and OTHER COMPLICATIONS. JON WAS ONE THE MOST REMARKABLE MUSICIANS, SONGWRITERS and SONG INTERPRETERS THAT GRACED OUR LIVES

REST IN PEACE
JON LUCIEN - JAN 8, 1942 to AUGUST 18, 2007


"I would say my sound is a romantic sound...it's water...it's ocean...it's tranquility."
