Everytime I hear James Moody play flute, which is my instrument, I always get an idea for something to do, like a teacher saying "here, try this . ...".

Guys like Moody are what jazz is about

[Rodrigo586079]

vai fazer muita falta para o mundo!

[missduck9]

He's so relaxed--look at his shoulders. What a great musician. Rest in peace, dear James Moody!

[Alexlattimore]

...and so another legend passes the earthly realm. Who will continue to carry the torch?

Moody is awesome

[sistalinda]

Love this so much.

Wave by Jobim is such a beautiful and timeless piece of music.

And James Moody sets this off so wonderfully.

Thanks for sharing this great piece.

Moody's Articulation is incredible! You can still hear the definition of each note in those shredding phrases.

[jazzyjazz2u]

@mastersgta1 Exactly.

[sitarnut]

@mastersgta1 Yes, that's just perfect - a phrase shredder deluxe for all time.

[jasaxophonist]

THe flue player is increadable.

[olds1978]

Amazing !!!

[denim98]

great flautist !!!

[decapitatespammers]

While I love jazz I am not not NOT a big band fan. But this selection and arrangement has just the right touch and blend that it works for me. Big. This is a flute performance with a strong backing balance, with just a couple of touches where the band provided punch and punctuation. So while that's a spectacular flute rendition (and I'm not a flute fan either), great credit for this song's arrangement. On a timeless song that's worthy of excellence and greatness in performance!

[musicmanson]

Hey douche bag. You obviously have no rights to talk since you say you love jazz but hate big band, which is what jazz is mostly. And you have clearly reinforced that by expressing your dislike of jazz flute, which was (and still is) used in big band settings. Duke wrote for them, Basie wrote for them, so you should really think about if you love jazz or love "jazz".

[decapitatespammers]

Mr. Manson, thank you for that edification. I had no idea how far off base I was, with the top of my heap including Tito, Moody, Jobim, Getz and Gilberto(s) on the Latin front. That's right, James. (Oh, sorry, I have none. Obviously.) Miles and Evans dominate on my "standards front."

I THINK that I complimented JM's performance and particularly the arrangement. But I defer to your superior judgment.

[bazz991]

You dont have a fucking clue. The black guy reeks of musicality!

Jazz aint about being a tosser. So toss off. Tosser.

[samfreemanwatford]

I spy Bob Mintzer

[musicmanson]

I spy wrong from you.

[UKJazzCat]

ike te bit at 58 secs. Actually, I remember a record by Moody where he does some really cool bottom c. He's AWESOME! Goo singer, too.

[trompeter1990]

Till Brönner plays the 2nd trumpet

[twoSpeys]
