Chuck Greenberg

One of the founding members of the influential world-music/fusion band Shadowfax, Greenberg played flute, saxophone, and keyboards. The California-based artist was also well known for his use of the Lyricon, an electronic wind instrument he helped develop. The Lyricon added an ethereal dimension to his masterful melodic improvisations. As a composer, Greenberg combined rock, pop, and jazz elements into his music while retaining a progressive edge. Greenberg died as the result of a heart attack in mid-1995. ~ Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide
