RVNG INTL.

Guitarist and zither player, Ernest Hood was born on June 2, 1923 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He made a name for himself as a jazz guitarist in the Portland, Oregon area during the 1940s before becoming a sought-after studio musician. Unfortunately, Hood's career took an unexpected turn when he contracted polio in the 1950s, leaving him wheelchair-bound for life. Despite this setback, he adapted by picking up the zither and went on to showcase his talent on several early albums of renowned saxophonist [a269594].
Ernest Hood's musical journey began as a skilled jazz guitarist in Portland during the vibrant era of the 1940s. Alongside his brother Bill Hood and acclaimed saxophonist [a269594], he captivated audiences with his melodic guitar playing.
In the face of adversity, Hood's determination remained unwavering. After being diagnosed with polio and confined to a wheelchair, he refused to let it hinder his passion for music. Unable to hold a guitar any longer due to physical limitations, he discovered solace in playing the zither instead.

Ernest Hood’s Neighborhoods was released some two decades after the Portland, Oregon born and raised musician’s first forays into field recordings. These very recordings, and those captured over intervening years, define the universal sound and aural images of childhood, a theme memorialized by Hood’s privately-pressed opus of 1975.
