James Moody

[BeBop]

I had hoped to visit the Bay Area for the James Moody 85th birthay tribute, but heard that he was ill and unable to attend. From the Yoshi's website:

James Moody is ill and will not be able to be present at the show.Join us, in an all-star tribute and celebration to the great Mr. Moody!

Any news?

Hopefully he will get well quickly. There are some artists that are always there, every year. James Moody is one of them. I can think of a few others, such as Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Hank Jones.

Oh boy.. I hope he's ok. One of the greatest and nicest people ever!! Does anyone know about Hank Jones being in Sloan Kethering in New York? I heard he's sick.

Wishing the very best of 'Get Well Soon' wishes to both James Moody and Hank. Hope they are both back on their feet soon.

I'll "second" that.

I make a motion for a unanimous declaration.

Without objection, so ordered.

he's not the only person who wears that scent. anyone he hugs gets to wear it too!

Moody had his galbladder removed and should be back playing soon I hear.

[Chuck Nessa]

Who got it?

[bertrand]

It's been shipped by priority mail to Whitehall, MI. A small package of value will come to you, shortly.

i heard Moody is recuperating in a rehab facility after battling a post-surgical infection. he definitely didn't need complications but thankfully he's "on the mend".
