This James Moody CD came out in 1996 and covered two great albums by the saxophonist and flutist—Last Train From Overbrook (tracks #1-10; recorded in 1958) and Flute 'N' the Blues (tracks #11-20; recorded in 1956). Both were released on Chess's Argo label.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Moody, these two albums are great introductions. For those of you who know Moody's work well, you probably haven't heard them in some time and they'll serve as a welcome reminder of his soulful beauty and lyricism.
By the way, I heard from Linda Moody, James's widow, last week. She says hi to JazzWax readers here in the U.S. and abroad. James Moody died in 2010. [Photo above of Linda and James Moody]
