Ernest Hood

Ernest Hood (1923) is a musician and composer from Portland, OR, United States. He was a jazz guitarist in the Portland area in the 1940s, playing with his brother Bill and saxophonist Charlie Barnet. Hood contracted polio in the early 1950s, which confined him to using a wheelchair for the rest of his life. As he could no longer hold a guitar, he started playing the zither. He actually played zither on some of Flora Purim's early albums. Hood started making field recordings as early as in 1956 and eventually discovered the synthesizer. Read more on Last.fm
