Wasn't he back to using Art Blakey 100% by this time (1964) though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Joy was a strange little label though. A budget subsidiary of President records, set up after President had got rights to Vee-Jay material. But I see the Vee-Jay version also has Buhaina on the sleeve. A compilation... Well, we all don't know as much as we think we know. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another three in the post at the moment. My new obsession... He's hitting a similar spot that Yusef Lateef does for me. Thank you for all your Moody posts that eventually nudged me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 The later (on both Novus & WB) dates tend to be a bit "produced", but the last dates (on IPO) are badass. But - do not hesitate to go backwards as well. The late-40s/early 50s stuff are magnificent. https://jamesmoody.com/discography/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of Moody's Novus records, Something Special. It's very good -- but, IMO, it's not quite on the same level as those prime years. From Moody's later years, my favorite very well could be Our Delight with Hank Jones on IPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Don't overlook Moody's Vanguard LPs. They're products of their time, but they're definitely well worth hearing -- particularly Sun Journey and the "Summit" record with Elvin and Clark Terry.

I have that one but find it a bit over-sickly with the souped-up synth, I’m afraid. Correction to say I’m thinking of ‘Sweet and Lovely’.
