Widely regarded as one of rock's most creative instrumental talents, Garth Hudson played the organ, saxophone, and accordion in the Band. The secret weapon in the legendary quintet's sound, Hudson is most remembered for his calliope-evoking Lowrey organ style (particularly evident on the mind-bending intro to "Chest Fever" or slinky solo in "Stagefright") and his weepy saxophone work, which put the soul into many of their rustic laments. He also engineered their storied sessions with Bob Dylan for THE BASEMENT TAPES. Following the dissolution of the Band, Hudson concentrated on session work (with artists such as Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, and Leonard Cohen) and soundtrack contributions. In the new millennium he worked on albums by Tom Petty, Mercury Rev, Neko Case, and the Lemonheads as well as released his official solo debut, THE SEA TO THE NORTH.
