James Moody • Running the Gamut Legendary Sessions

 

Description from liner notes and reviews:
Two of the most expressive and prolific figures in jazz history collaborated on this exceptional session. Multi-reed instrumentalist James Moody and trumpeter, composer, and arranger Thad Jones created an album that fell through the critical cracks despite being remarkably good. Recorded in 1964 for the independent Scepter label, it was one of two albums Moody made for the label featuring the immortal Thad Jones. The session takes off from Moody's early '60s work for Chess, displaying a deeper side of his musical consciousness with Tom McIntosh's influence strongly felt as producer. Moody plays tenor, alto, and flute, working with a really great group including Patti Bown on piano, Albert Heath on drums, Reggie Workman on bass, and Thad Jones on trumpet. The scope of the work is far beyond anything expected, with a stunning early funk track featuring a tripped-out organ line. Remastered for 2024, this album represents one for any true jazz fanatic's collection.

Descripción de notas de producción y reseñas:
Dos de las figuras más expresivas y prolíficas de la historia del jazz colaboraron en esta sesión excepcional. El instrumentista multi-cañas James Moody y el trompetista, compositor y arreglista Thad Jones crearon un álbum que cayó entre las grietas críticas a pesar de ser notablemente bueno. Grabado en 1964 para el sello independiente Scepter, fue uno de dos álbumes que Moody hizo para el sello presentando al inmortal Thad Jones. La sesión despega del trabajo de principios de los '60 de Moody para Chess, mostrando un lado más profundo de su consciencia musical con la influencia de Tom McIntosh fuertemente sentida como productor. Moody toca tenor, alto y flauta, trabajando con un grupo realmente grande que incluye a Patti Bown en piano, Albert Heath en batería, Reggie Workman en bajo y Thad Jones en trompeta. El alcance del trabajo está mucho más allá de lo esperado, con una impresionante pista de funk temprano presentando una línea de órgano psicodélica. Remasterizado para 2024, este álbum representa uno para la colección de cualquier verdadero fanático del jazz.
