Moody (album)


Moody is an album by saxophonist James Moody composed of sessions from 1954 with a septet arranged by Quincy Jones which were released on the Prestige label.

Reception

awarded the album 4½ stars stating "In the mid-'50s James Moody led a four-horn septet that played music falling somewhere between bop and rhythm & blues. The danceable rhythms and riffing made its recordings somewhat accessible but the solos of Moody and trumpeter Dave Burns also held listener's interests".
