Memphis Jazz institution Herman Green died last Thursday. A graduate of Manasas High School, his recording career stretched back to the very early fifties with Rufus Thomas and others. He taught B.B. King and worked in his earliest combos, toured with Lionel Hampton, led the house band at the Blackhawk for a while. When I was a student at the University of Pittsburgh he came to town and played a gig with Jothan Callins that made me proud to be a Memphian, As I say, he was an institution and musicians' stories used to inevitably turn to Herman as nearly everyone in town had played with him at one time or another (usually during our younger days).
