Weeds is also a fine musician, a noted alto saxophonist in the vibe of Lee Konitz, who can shred on tenor and soprano as well. He has a deep respect for tradition and the masters of jazz saxophone, embedding those principals into his music and into his playing. For this tour, he features a B-3 band featuring organist Chris Hazelton. Guitarist David Rourke and drummer Rudy Petschauer round out the soulful quartet. The gig is on the tail end of the tour, when they should be cookin' at full speed! https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
