Biography

source

Showing the Discogs bio

American jazz organist
Born 7 October 1940 in Newark, New Jersey, USA, died 30 March 1978 in NYC, New York, USA
His characteristic sound involved management of the stops on the Hammond organ, producing overtone series that caused an ethereal, drifting effect; a sound that is simultaneously lead and background.
He died from untreated pneumonia in NYC.
