Greenidge has also collaborated with artists such as Robert Palmer, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Taj Mahal, Ringo Starr, Earth, Wind & Fire and Carly Simon.[1][2]

Career

Greenidge began performing as a pannist at age eight and performed internationally beginning in his teens. During 1970 he represented Trinidad and Tobago as a soloist and as a member of Trinidad and Tobago National Steel Orchestra. Within the next year he migrated to the United States where he studied and played music.[2]

Greenidge went on to play on Carly Simon's album Another Passenger, Ringo Starr's record Ringo's Rotogravure, and Robert Palmer's LP Some People Can Do What They Like all in 1976. He also appeared on the latter's 1978 album Double Fun. He then performed on Grover Washington Jr.'s 1980 album Winelight and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1980 LP Double Fantasy. He also featured on JJ Cale's 1982 album Grasshopper, Earth Wind and Fire's 1983 album Powerlight, and Jimmy Buffett's 1983 LP One Particular Harbour. Greenidge later played on Buffett's 1984 album Riddles in the Sand and Steve Perry's 1984 LP Street Talk.[1] Greenidge's talents were also utilized extensively on Harry Nilsson's Duit on Mon Dei, Sandman, and ...That's the Way It Is.

He went on to perform on Buffet's 1985 album Last Mango in Paris, his 1986 release Floridays, Robert Palmer's 1989 album Addictions: Volume 1 and Buffett's 1994 album Fruitcakes.[1]

From 1978 to 1983, he played and toured with blues singer Taj Mahal. During 1986, Greenidge released his own album, Mad Music, with fellow Coral Reefer Michael Utley. He has continued to record with Utley as Club Trini. He continued to work in his native country and has played the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival every year since 1979. He won the national steelband competition Panorama twice with the Desperadoes Steel Orchestra in 1991 and 1994, both times with his own compositions.[3][1][4]
