ALLEGRO NEWS
JAMES MOODY
March 26, 1925 – December 9, 2010
“James Moody, who began his career with the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie
shortly after World War II and maintained it well into the 21 st century,
developed distinctive and equally fluent styles on both tenor and alto
saxophone, a relatively rare accomplishment in jazz … The National
Endowment for the Arts named him a Jazz Master in 1998. His last album,
Moody 4B, was recorded in 2008 and released this year on the IPO label; it
earned a Grammy nomination this month.” — New York Times
