Another nice write up. Hurts that I couldnt make his funeral but he more than made his mark and it makes me happy to see him get the respect and recognition that he deserved. Numerous superlatives have been utilized by professional writers, fans, and fellow musicians to describe the musical prowess of the consummate sideman who passed away last week. Over the course of over 30 years he performed on stages of every size within every style on the vast musical continuum we call “New Orleans music.” From avant-garde jazz to hard rock, he played with hundreds of musicians and seemingly preferred none of them to any other. What he brought to every performance was an intense spirit and focus regardless of whether he was on stage in giant venues with musical superstars like Peter Gabriel, in sold out clubs with local icons like George Porter, Jr., or in an empty bar with a pick up blues band. This video is short, but it defines his aesthetic. thevinyldistrict/neworleans/2014/09/saxophonist-tim-green-r-p/
