Milo Mannino

Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Milo has been playing his trumpet in The Big Easy and Columbus, Ohio for the past 45 years. Milo and his family relocated to Ohio in November 2006 to manage music stores and develop a presence in the Columbus area (Go, Bucks!).

Leading his own groups, including the North Columbus Big Band, formerly the Crescent River Big Band, Milo has performed and worked with great artists such as Smokey Robinson, Four Tops, Anne Murray, Connie Francis, Bobby Vinton, Al Martino, Regis Philbin, Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Shirley Jones, and Keely Smith (wife & sidekick to Louis Prima).

Recent performances include the Columbus Arts Festival, London Ribs, Jazz Festival, Upper Arlington Music in the Parks Concert Series, and featured at the Columbus Museum of Art's Jazz Master Series.
