Musician

New York City’s “downtown” well knows the place held by Michael Moss in the annals of jazz, an import extending far beyond the bell of his horn. The reeds player and composer came of age in the 1960s as a witness to John Coltrane’s musical and spiritual expansion, empowered by the visions of liberation, unrest and solidarity so unique to that time. As a saxophonist with numerous doubles, a tenacious improviser, composer, conceptualist, and producer, Moss has serrated and transformed musical barriers on countless stages, doing so in the good company of veterans of the music in the period of its definitive transition.
