		Whatever friendly competition the Moncur father and son may have had over their respective discographies -- a set of twin towers on either vinyl or CD -- has been scuttled, however, by discographers who refuse to use Roman numerals or, even worse, credit a session to both men out of sheer confusion.
		Moncur II was already busy performing on at least three different instruments as a teenager in Miami, FL.
		Moncur II worked regularly as a bassist with the latter group until it broke up in 1945, then began leading bands in association with Ace Harris, a pianist, and Joe Thomas, a tenor saxophonist.

		If Grachan Moncur III had perished 40 years ago in a car crash, or become one of jazz's junkie-poets, he might be a legend today, rather than an all-but-forgotten trombonist.
		Moncur was a child, the family moved to a predominantly white neighborhood in Newark, where his father led a swing band called Brother Moncur and His Strollers.
		Moncur's compositions are programmatic in feel, connecting sound to image in the manner of the movie scores he studied at Juilliard.

		Same level of quality, playing, etc? I'm not familiar with Moncur's work except from Destination Out, so I'd love to hear what people think of his playing and whether this set is worth picking up if one doesn't already own most of the material therein.
		I'd recommend grabbing the Moncur Mosaic Select, especially if you already are a fan of Moncur's playing on Destination Out.

	Live At The Donaueschingen Music Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This 1967 live recording from the Donaueschingen Music Festival has sadly never seen a CD release - I say sadly because it's a superb album, rated by critics and fans alike as one of Shepps' finest of the 1960s.
		This is in no small part due to the quality of his quintet, which features the dual trombone attack of Roswell Rudd and Grachan Moncur - two Shepp regulars who were also pioneering free jazz players in their own right.
		Two trombones might seem a little unusual, but so wide is the tonal range presented that you really don't miss any higher-pitched brass.

		The Savoy Sultans, led by reedman Al Cooper, was the house band at the famous ballroom; although it was only an octet, visiting bands were not immune from a thrashing.
		Drummer Razz Mitchell used a riveted Chinese sizzle cymbal; Rudy Williams was a fine alto saxophonist; Sam Massenberg played trumpet; bass player Grachan Moncur II was the father of modern trombonist Grachan Moncur III.
		The band’s name was carried on in the late 1940s by drummer Panama Francis, who had worked with Millinder opposite the Sultans; in 1976 he formed another band under the venerable name, and it has made some delightful albums.
