michel devos Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 Very sad to learn the passing of organist Gene Ludwig last week on the 14th of july. I hope to read some more posts on him here, he was really a great player. Quote

LWayne Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 Those of us here in Pittsburgh were certainly lucky to be able to hear Gene Ludwig play on a regular basis. Very much reminded me of the Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff school moreso than Jimmy Smith. He was a local legend and his recordings with Jimmy Ponder on guitar are a treasure. There will be a memorial service commemorating him on Wednesday, July 21st at Palmieri's Restaurant in Monroeville/Plum area. LWayne Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 Oh, sorry to hear this. I liked Gene from hearing his first 45 for Atlantic - Sticks & Stones. Have been recently grooving hard to his album "Duff's blues" with the Bill Warfield big band. MG Quote
