Gene Ludwig - A Photo Tribute

Legendary Jazz Orgaanist Gene Ludwig played his final chord on July 14, 2010 after a brief illness. Gene and I became friends after meeting at a memorial service for Jimmy Smith. Gene was part of Jazz Organ's heyday and was a significant contributor to its artform. At 18, I watched from outside of The Wonder Gardens Night Club in Atlantic City, amazed to seem him standing on top of and playing the organ backwards.

This is my small contribution to is talent and my memories of our short-lived friendship.

They are swingin' up there today without a doubt!
