Bio: James Moody has been an institution in jazz since the late '40s, whether on tenor, flute, occasional alto, or yodelling his way through his "Moody's Mood for Love." After serving in the Air Force (1943-1946), he joined Dizzy Gillespie's bebop orchestra and began a lifelong friendship with the trumpeter.
After returning to the U.S., Moody formed a septet that lasted for five years, recorded extensively for Prestige and Argo, took up the flute, and then from 1963-1968, was a member of Dizzy Gillespie's quintet.
Moody, who has alternated between tenor (which he prefers) and alto throughout his career, has an original sound on both horns.

(Moody fondly recalls one especially instructive conversation with Gillespie a few years ago: "I said, 'You know, Diz, I wish I had known what to study when I was younger, because I would have that under my belt.
In 1989, Moody, backed by the same combo that appears on Honey (except Cohen for Barron), delivered Sweet and Lovely on which Moody and his men were joined by the venerable Dizzy Gillespie for "Con Alma" and "Get The Booty".
