I had the great honor of performing with another great jazz musician that played with James Moody. I am still in awe of his virtuosity on flute. It is as if the gods descended from the heavens. Simply divine
@@davidscott1052 These only play the flute, like Hubert Laws! J. Moody plays the sax too, and that damages the "embouchure" of the flute! They are different categories!
Owned this record shortly after it was first released. One of the few I kept. All are brilliant, but I miss Steig and Moody the most. Moody’s Autumn Leaves is simply amazing. His use of “color” in the opening is unsurpassed. I wonder why Hubert Laws wasn’t included in this festival...
essa foi a minha iniciacao no Jazz quando era adolescente. Ouvi muitos outros flautistas entre eles Nicola Stilo que adoro tambem mas James Moody s solo fica insuperavel
That intro could be for any song. When the song came then you realize how skillful is maestro. Definitely the best flutist in history of jazz

Amazing flute playing!! Just gorgeous and brilliant!
Reliving my youth. I recall the first time I heard this recording - still knocks me out. James, we will miss you. A giant's voice has been stilled...
IF YOU HAVE EARS........NOT STILLED!
Totally sounds only like James Moody. Thanks brother for becoming such a great flutist and wonderful being.
This is one of the best performances of flute in jazz I know. Moody rules.
I agree!
The best jazz flute ever indeed
Martin Langford yeah but don't forget Holly Hofmann and Kent Jordan

@@ricardopontessax I've found that it hasn't damaged my embouchure playing both
Moody's Flute so dope. Wow and the piano solo rocks

I love James Moody! I saw him at Grand Parade du Jazz in Nice, 1980 and 1981 July!
Far more boppish than Frank Wess's take...Moody was the greatest bebopper on flute...Period
I love everything Moody has done but as a flute player this get me.. wonderful. I want to mention my favorite flutist... Orlando Valle aka Maraca.
breathtaking intro!
Please upload, "Come With Me" and "Bamboo Madness" 🙏🏽
Jimmy was one "Heaven" of an Organic Real Jazz flautist a la Eric Dolphy, Frank Wess, Buddy Collette, and Eric Dixon of the Count Basie Orchestra.
