Reflecting on spending Gene's birthday at his house on the way back from The Detroit Jazz Festival. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.
We lost a Jazz legend, an innovator, and a great human being when Gene passed. |

I can't believe it's one year since Gene passed away. I miss his playing and seeing him at the B3. Now that WDUQ has stopped playing jazz, and Tony Mowod is no longer on the air, Gene's music will be missed by jazz fans everywhere. I still listen to Gene's CD's and smile whenever I can. We miss you Gene. May God bless you Pattye.

I have listened to and played a number of Gene's CDs on my radio show ("Just Jazz"). Thanks to his lovely wife Pattye for supplying me with his music. Out of all the times I have listened, I have concluded that Gene Ludwig was not flashy. He had no need to be because he was simply "SOLID GREAT" on his instrument. I am baffled at the sometimes realtively unknown muscians in his various groups who were standouts playing with him. Gene knew his instrument and what he wanted out of his groups. Thanks as always Pattye...

Gene played at the great Bakers Keyboard Lounge, and blew the roof off the place the night I saw him play. You will be missed Sir!!!

I feel very fortunate indeed to have seen Gene perform live at the Detroit Jazz Festival a few years back - and to see how he was mentoring the young players on stage. We will be playing "Love Notes of Cole Porter" at KSJS-FM, San Jose.

Thank you for maintaining this site which is a fitting tribute to a great musician. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Gene but his melodies linger on. I hope the Cole Porter project gets released at some point. W.

I am saddened to hear about Gene's passing. We worked together with Arthur Prysock in the late 70's. He was the greatest! He will surely be missed.

Gene has been one of my favorite organists since I heard him on CD with guitarist Bob Devos. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to hear him in concert : would have been an experience!
We'll never forget him. |

In July 2010 a dear friend and excellent musician passed away, Gene Ludwig. Words can’t express how much Gene’s thunderous Organ playing and warm personality will be missed. I (Jared Wilson Saxophonist) learned so much from Gene while playing with him for two years at Jackson’s Southpointe. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful wife Pattye Ludwig who was the love of Gene’s life. I am so happy that I got to record with Gene and was able to
co-write (along with Howie Alexander) a tribute song (Gene’s On It) to one of the greatest Organ players to ever live Gene Ludwig! |

I met Gene back in the early 60's in Newark New Jersey, my home town. I am a B3 player and Gene and I had the same agent, Joe Hathe, Suburban Attractions and worked many of the same places and our paths crossed frequently. I didn't see him for many years when I relocated to Las Vegas and only once when he played the Blue Note here in Vegas with two of my dear friends Joe Lano and Tommy Check.
My heart is out to Gene's family. He was a fine musician and an even better human being. He was a dinasour and will be dearly missed by all. |

The jazz world has lost a true legend. One of the nicest people and greatest Hammond players in the world is now in a better place. No more playing in 'dives' or lugging the B3 through the kitchen to get to the stage. He's jamming with all the greats in Heaven. That roar you hear isn't thunder....it's Gene and his Leslie rumbling away, laying down another jazz standard as only he can. RIP Gene. Look forward to seeing you again some day.

Pattye,
My sincerest sympathies in this time of great sorrow. I played numerous jam sessions and regular jobs before I left Pittsburgh in 1989. He had just finished his new tune of "The Street Preacher" before I left, and we played it forever! I'll miss him tremendously! |

To the family of Gene Luwig, I am in shock and disblief upon hearing of the passing of the GREAT Gene Ludwig!
I first heard about Maestro Gene though my brother Pete. Gene was a TRUE Hammond B3 player- he was fast, master of the ivories and a muscial genius! I will ALWAYS listen to the GREAT sounds of Gene Luwig and the assorted musicians he played with! I have most of his CDS and several of his LP records which he produced himself! |

Dear Mrs. Ludwig,
I and others from here are sorry for the loss of Gene. We were fortunate to work and travel with him regionally and Europe, before his resurgence that he duly deserved. He was a great inspiration to us and a great friend and a funny funny man to hang with. We loved him dearly and will miss him. I hope in my afterlife, I will get to see and hear him again. I thought he was the greatest, the original, traditional to the genre...and I am just so sad about this. We were unaware of his health situation and if we would have known that we could have been there for him to help him in anyway....we would have been there for him and you. We are so sorry and will miss him dearly. God Bless Gene and you in this time. He will always be in my mind as the best and a musical inspiration to me very personally. Ralph Adkisson |

Pittsburgh will always have a hole in its heart losing Gene as Columbus does concerning Hank Marr.
I was fortunate to get to know Gene in recent years and will always feel the loss. My deepest condolences to Pattye and to the entire jazz circle of friends in Pittsburgh and in the B3 world in general. |

Mrs. Ludwig,
I am very sorry for your loss. I drove from Cleveland to catch him at Pangea last year, and I had been planning on driving to see him at the end of this month. In addition to being a monster player, he struck me as being very warm and friendly. He didn't know me from Adam, but spent a few minutes talking to me at the end of the gig. I wish that I had discovered his music sooner, but I am thankful that I got to see him do what he did so well in person. Justin |
