James, who left us a few days ago, was the ultimate jazz musician. He was a humble, brilliant, and creative man who was a giant among sax players. I always appreciated that he had no need for a neck strap, and he PLAYED. He just PLAYED! He spoke in this tribute the truth - reflecting his essence as the most encouraging and inspiring of all the teachers I have ever known. We will miss you, Moody. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for this video.....I did not know of Moody until today. Amazing person!
James Moody was one of the GREAT tenor saxists and flutists, playing at a peak of performance until he passed at 85. He won many DownBeat jazz polls for his flute playing alone. His last CD "Moody 4B" won the Grammy award for jazz instrumental performance. A longtime associate of Dizzy Gillespie since the 40s, his "Last Train from Overbrook" and amazing solo on "Moody's Mood for Love" are among his best. Another great jazzman has left the bandstand for last time.
