We just got some very sad news. Carmen Leggio, Tenor Sax player for over 60 years and a dear friend to our family, has passed away. He was still playing at night clubs and other venues up until the time he passed away. He was such a sweet, humble person yet had this huge talent to play Jazz sax and the clarinet. He was kind enough to come to our house and play for our daughter's 4th birthday. When we went to the local restaurant Division Street Grill in Peekskill NY, he played a special solo just for our kids. He has played with some heavy hitters on tthe Jazz scene like Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, and Benny Goodman to name a few. He shared his talent wherever he went and brought such joy and kindness to all he touched. He will be missed by his friends, family, fans and the community as a whole. Rest in peace, Carmen Leggio. We love you.
