Jemeel Moondoc - alto sax
William Parker - double bass
Bring together one of the under-recorded, unsung masters of
alto saxophone, Jemeel Moondoc, with the astonishing bass
playing of William Parker, and what do you have? It should not
come as a surprise to anyone that this live set from the 1998
Fire in the Valley Festival is not only some of the best
Moondoc material on disc, but also a fine example of some of
the best free saxophone playing in recent years. Parker is a
strong addition to any group, but he is mostly in a supporting
role here, while Moondoc spurts forth line after line of
creative inspiration. There is an acerbic quality to the
saxophonist's sound, reminiscent of Ornette Colemen's tone from
the early 1960s. Moondoc is a sort of odd, underrated elder
statesman of free music, occupying a role not dissimilar to
that of Chicago tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson. There is much
to savor on this one, and a lot from which younger musicians
can learn.
