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.
