Though I never met him his style was very unique. His sound was very soulful yet he had a masterful grasp of what worked in the pop world as well. John Oates of Hall & Oates wrote this about him, "He made everyone he played with better. So many times when I'm working on a musical passage or part, I think to myself, 'How would T-Bone play this?" and aspire to his level every time I perform.
Wow what a quote! What a lesson for all of us Sidemen! Making everyone else we play with better. T-Bone was the ultimate Team Player! A true art of a great Sideman. Looking to better the band and artist you are working with. This is a HUGE key to job security!
The "Team Player" concept will be discussed further in more detail later.
Sideman Pro honors "T-Bone" Wolk for his masterful contribution to the musician world. Thank you for your tone and talent!
