Grachan Moncur III Octet: Exploration
by Dan McClenaghan
"Frankenstein" seems an odd name for a jazz tune, but then why not? The song title--and the song itself--captures the mood of Grachan Moncur III's Exploration. It's an arrangement that features an assertive--to the point of brashness, perhaps--ensemble interplay of a seven horns backed by bass and drums, sans piano or guitar. Two trombones, along with ...

by AAJ Staff

Grachan Moncur III: Mosaic Select 1
by C. Andrew Hovan

For better or worse, ...
A Fireside Chat With Grachan Moncur III
by AAJ Staff
There are paths we take in life that are forever. Life is unforgiving and no one in jazz personifies that better than Grachan Moncur III. It took me over a year just to track down Grachan. And because of health issues, another year for him to sit down with the Roadshow. Allow me to be kind ...
