Volume, Contrast, Brilliance
Saturday January 25th, 2025 with Steve Kirkland
on garth... then onward

Garth Hudson died earlier this week at 87. An enigmatic musical force, the last remaining original member of The Band, he cut a solitary figure personally, but did amazing things musically -- predominantly on organ, but also piano, sax, accordian and more.

Hey Terry, the last piece, the Yusef Lateef track, a side-long beast of a track! Cheers
