I have listened for years to recordings by the Detroit Symphony under Paul Paray and Antal Dorati. It was a very unique orchestra, particularly under Paray--a sound like no other. Oliver's bass clarinet playing is prominent in the Franck Symphony, Florent Schmitt's The Tragedy of Salome, Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite and the Saint-Saens Third Symphony. I also have a "bootleg" recording of the Mahler Fifth Symphony under Paray where I hear more excellent bass clarinet playing. I knew two of Oliver's colleagues after they moved to Florida: Albert Tipton (flute) and Jim Tamburini (trumpet). When the DSO played in Orlando almost 20 years ago, my friend and I tried to meet him at the reception, but we were told he had retired for the night. So, I regret not being able to see him and hear tales of his times with the DSO. I send my best wishes to his family. God bless you all.

Lee.
We are saddened to here of Ollie's passing. We grieve along with you and the Green family. Remembrances of his music , the times spent unwinding sailing yarns, and the enthusiastic games played on tennis courts are certain to fill the cornucopia from which many, many pleasant memories flow for a long, long time.
Henry & Gloria Zanardelli

I am so sorry for your loss! All he was a dear friend of David Zauder, my father. He also was a very close family friend to me. Are used to have trouble getting to sleep at night when we slept over his house. He gave me a magic circle prayer that I have used since and have passed on to my children as well.he was not only a special human being, a Mench, a fine musician and a very good friend. I also know he was a extraordinary father and a husband. May his memory be for a blessing always. Love Karen Zauder Brass

I, too, enjoyed playing music with Ollie at GLYC and am sorry that we weren't able to play together more. He was a fine musician and a true gentleman. We will all miss him.

One of the greatest treasures of my life was to play along with Ollie at GLYC.
At the time I had no idea that he played with the Detroit Symphony.
We played the American songbook (fake book #1) almost from cover to cover and he never miss a beat nor did he comment on my mediocre guitar playing.
He was a wonderful musician, a great joke teller and a fantastic person.
He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest condolences to Lee and all of the Green family.
