---------------on a much sadder note, octogenarian jazz reedist james moody, with a legendary career spanning through the 1940s has passed to another place.
moody's effortless, tasteful, unmatched, fluid flights, whether it was on soprano, tenor, or flute, through the melodies and chords have delighted and comforted me since the early 60s.
there was a rare grace in moody's music, opposed to the adventurous troubled flights of technique, sound, and emotion displayed by many of his contemporaries.
between numbers of his live performances, his extended witty humorous repartee offered brief refuge from the deeper cares of the world.
james moody will be missed.
jazz has lost another great master. i feel a personal loss.
