With profound sadness, NEC mourns the passing of John McNeil, who died at home in New York City on September 27, 2024. A legendary artist and beloved educator, McNeil taught at NEC from 1980 through 2022. “John McNeil was an artist of the highest caliber and was one of the cornerstones of NEC’s Jazz Studies Department for over 40 years,” says Jazz Studies Department Co-Chair Ken Schaphorst. McNeil’s mark on the music was indelible, and his acerbic sense of humor and dry wit were legendary. He leaves behind a rich legacy that will continue to inspire future generations of musicians.
