Joe Long (born Joseph LaBracio; September 5, 1941 in Elizabeth, New Jersey[1]), is an American musician best known as the bass guitarist for The Four Seasons. BiographyJoe Long is a classically trained musician who studied with Alfonse Strazza, the principal bassist for the New York Philharmonic. However, a severe hand injury forced Joe to give up the rigors of playing classical bass and switch to the Fender bass guitar. He then began listening more to rock & roll music and became a bass player for several local New Jersey rock bands before joining The Four Seasons in 1965 as a replacement for Charles Calello, who temporarily replaced Nick Massi. Joe Long continued to record, perform and tour with The Four Seasons through the mid-1970s. After leaving the group, Long formed the rock 'n roll group LaBracio and later the jazz band Jersey Bounce. In a recent interview Long stated that, "I still play an occasional gig. And, I have done a few recording sessions with Tommy [DeVito]. For the most part, though, I am retired."[2] References1. ^Interview: Joe Long: His Story 2. ^The Jersey Boys Blog Interview 11/20/07 External links
