About Tim Green
“Tim Green is a dynamic musician,” says Christian McBride, the multiple Grammy Award-winning bassist. “If you make a checklist of everything you’d want in a musician, Tim has it all.”
Green has become a saxophonist of choice for many of jazz’s most revered pianists, a testament to his brilliant feel and his instinct for blending that singular personality into the sound of a band. Green has been featured on stage and recordings with such keyboard masters as his mentor Mulgrew Miller, Eric Reed, Patrice Rushen, Larry Willis, Orrin Evans, Allyn Johnson and Alex Brown, and as part of Cyrus Chestnut’s band Affirmation.
Based in his native Baltimore, Green has garnered international acclaim while establishing himself as a pillar of his hometown scene. In 2018 he joined the faculty of the esteemed Peabody Conservatory, where he plays a vital role in the innovative Jazz Studies program led by world-renowned trumpeter and educator Sean Jones. In this work he passes on the torch handed to him by bandstand mentors like Kenny Garrett and Mulgrew Miller and through his own studies; Green received his Bachelor of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music and earned his Master’s in Jazz Studies from the University of Southern California’s Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.
Green has taken the stage of the Hollywood Bowl with Christian McBride’s Big Band, adding that world-famous site to a list of prestigious venues that includes the Village Vanguard, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Disney Hall, and even the White House. Green has toured stadiums and arenas around the world for nearly a decade with the superstar vocalist Michael Bublé, showcasing his ability to maintain his musical personality in the pop realm. He has also enjoyed a 20-year collaboration with Darin Atwater’s Soulful Symphony, including a residency with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
While Green has journeyed far and wide since his days under the tutelage of Mulgrew Miller, he continues to embody the high praise lavished upon him by the late piano master, who commended him for keeping “a song in his heart.”
