Take heed. James Moody is a spiritual master of life as well as music. While many talk of racial prejudice, Mr. Moody has lived through the absolute worst of it. At age 75 ( can you believe it? He doesn´t look a day over 50!), James has seen the most horrible examples of Jim Crow, and not only survived, but transcended the cruelty and pettiness of this world to become a true hero and role model who all of us would do well to learn from. If you don´t believe me, check out this album. Every note he plays speaks the truth of his vast experience. This album is some of the most representative examples of Moody´s brilliant playing. Please don´t miss out on this living legend.
