I went to some strange gigs, in burlesque houses, to some really beautiful ones. Paradigm Talent Agency (Rest of World): Avery McTaggart – amctaggart@paradigmagency.com. They must have liked the tune because they played it for about a half hour. A lot of people didn’t hire him because he played too much. And the most grace. He had his own band with Joe Henderson, and used to play at Birdland on Monday nights.
That man was very nice to me in every way.
Duet For Violin And Squeaky Do 9. An excellent drummer, Bob Moses has received his strongest identification being a colorful and adventurous arranger/composer for large ensembles. Batteur depuis des décennies, il est reconnu pour l'aventure qu'il apporte au tambour, faisant de lui un compositeur dans sa propre ligue. A partial list of stellar musicians Bob Moses has worked and/or recorded with both as a leader and a sideman includes: Charles Mingus, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Jim Pepper, Larry Coryell, The Free Spirits, Dave Liebman, Gary Burton, Keith Jarrett, Steve Swallow, Michael Gibbs, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Paul Bley, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Jaco Pastorius, Hal Galper, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Steve Kuhn, Sheila Jordan, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Sanborn, Bill Frisell, Eddie Gomez, Don Alias, John Scofield, Terumasa Hino, Dave Holland, Charlie Haden, Hermeto Pascoal, Jovinos Santos Neto, Danillo Perez, David Sanchez, Chucho Valdes, Jimmy Slyde, Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Stan Strickland, Tiger Okoshi, Nana Vasconcelos, Obo Addy, John Medeski, Vernon Reid, DJ Logic, Badal Roy, Ravikiran, Master Anand, Raqib Hassan, Sam Rivers, Pharoah Sanders, Tisziji Muñoz, and many others.Moses's first recording as a leader was the 1968 album They know analytically what it is, but they didn’t live it and I hear that immediately.
I know basically what Steve Gadd does to make his drums sound so up front on the recordings. What he represented as a life style, as a life force. He had this incredible rolling thing. You can’t teach sweating man. Bob Moses Beneath the Surface. So shortly after that I stopped studying with him.
They really stretched on it.
Joe Henderson was with Edgar’s band and they played a tune I wrote called “Weirdo’s Waltz.” Kind of like a Monkish tune. He was beautiful. He performed as an adolescent with Rahsaan Roland Kirk (1964-1965), produced the first fusion group Free of charge Spirits with Larry Coryell (1966), and toured with Gary Burton’s quartet (1967-1969).
Bob a joué avec certains des meilleurs instrumentistes, dont Rahsaan Roland Kirk alors qu'il était encore adolescent et vibraphoniste de jazz américain, Gary Burton.
