Vincent Lawrence Maggio

I can attest to growing up with Vince. Everything about sneaking out of the house at 13 is absolutely true. Though he played classical music by ear, my mother introduced him to jazz and he was off and running. He always looked after his baby sister and I miss him very much.

Such a loss for the jazz community what with the passing of Vince Maggio. So many concerts at the University of Miami with Vince at the piano and the U of M Jazz Band working with him and his faculty colleagues. He was such a wonderful jazz leader and only a pleasure to tap my feet to his beat. He will be so missed. The jazz community has lost one of a kind. I don't know if God is a jazz fan but if not, it's time to tune in one of the best in Heaven. RIP Vince. Jeannie Casey A Vince...
