youtube.com

Calling hours are scheduled this evening for one of Ohio's legendary jazz musicians.  

Wilbert Longmire of the Cincinnati area died earlier this month at the age of 77.  Longmire played guitar for some of the biggest names in jazz in the 1960s and later had his own hits on the R-and-B charts.  Calling hours will be held at a Cincinnati-area church. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
