James Moody • 80 Years Young; Live At The Blue Note, March 26, 2005

 

It was an unforgettable week of music at the Blue Note in New York City, March 2005, celebrating the legendary saxophonist & flutist James Moody's 80th birthday. 80 Years Young documents the grand finale of that week, now released for the first time and in celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth. The club was buzzing that night with jazz legends, sports figures, TV personalities, and alive with love, joy, and the heartbeat of a community united in reverence for a great American cultural icon. Supporting Moody were Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Paquito D'Rivera, and Slide Hampton, with David Hazeltine and Cedar Walton on piano, bassist Todd Coolman, and drummer Adam Nussbaum, with a brief introduction by jazz impresario George Wein. Featured in the set was "Moody's Mood for Love," over a half-century since it was a major hit for King Pleasure and Moody's signature tune over the decades. 80 Years Young is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of his music and exudes the deep joyful connection he created with colleagues and audiences throughout his six-decade career.

Esa noche, el club estaba repleto de leyendas del jazz, figuras del deporte, personalidades de la televisión y rebosante de amor, alegría y el latido de una comunidad unida en reverencia por un gran icono cultural estadounidense. Acompañando a Moody estaban Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Paquito D'Rivera y Slide Hampton, con David Hazeltine y Cedar Walton al piano, el bajista Todd Coolman y el baterista Adam Nussbaum, con una breve introducción del empresario de jazz George Wein.
