The final member of The Band, the multi-instrumentalist, Garth Hudson passed away on January 21 in Woodstock, New York. Garth was The Band’s keyboard player… but also played several other instruments… including the saxophone which he plays in this video from Martin Scorsese’s documentary, The Last Waltz:

He was really a gifted musician. Had a great career.

RIP

I confess, I have never heard of either Hudson or The Band.

I find it peculiar how some famous people become universally famous, e.g. everyone knows about Einstein, even though very few could explain even in laymen's terms what exactly it was that he did to deserve all the fame, while others remain famous only among a particular part of society. Something I should go think about...
