Biography

Longineu Parsons II, born in 1950 in Jacksonville, Florida, is an American jazz musician who began learning classical trumpet at age 11.

He performed with notable artists such as Nat Adderley, Cab Calloway, Doc Severinsen, Herbie Mann, Archie Shepp, and Branford Marsalis, and contributed to musical productions like Satchmo and Forever Swing.
