You didn't know Jazz Flute can be this cool
Музыка
Some of the best jazz flute you'll ever hear, mr. James Moody fluting the blues!
This is transcribed from a video on KZread originally named "Dizzy Gillespie & James Moody - Mmm Hmm", as Dizzy seems to forget the real song title when introducing it. The title of the actually tune is "Darben The Redd Foxx".

James Moody was also one of the nicest people on the planet. I once was at the IAJE conference in Atlanta and riding the escalator with my bari sax. I was about to set it down on a few of the steps, when I heard a voice behind me say that he, "Had it" and the gentleman proceeded to hold the back of my bari sax case as we rode up the escalator. When I turned around to thank the man at the top, I was shocked that it was James Moody! We chatted for a few minutes about the session I had just attended and how much I enjoyed his playing. Such a memorable moment in my life.

That is a wonderful story. James Moody's playing was always very human, almost voice-like. My story of an encounter with a famous saxophonist: Back in the mid 90s, i was at an outdoor festival in Norfolk Va. I ducked into a department store to find a rest room. Walking through the sunglass section, i heard someone singing "You Don't Know Me" by Ray Charles. The voice was startlingly good, so I stopped to see who it was, and it was Maceo Parker! I was so shocked. I approached him and asked if he was performing at the festival, he said yes and that he was picking out some sunglasses for a set of Ray Charles songs he was performing for the first time...we talked for a few minutes before I left him alone... I stayed for the full show, got his autograph. It was one of my best days (other than being ON THE SAME STAGE with James Brown lol)

Imagine the thousands (Yes, EASILY, thousands) of hours that he patiently, methodically spent alone in rooms, building that kind of fluency and control! Flute has no mouthpiece, per se...you're literally forcing your breath across what essentially amounts to a coke bottle! This is an example of timeless, sheer brilliance and pure class. When I look at some of the relatively talentless oafs who make tens of millions, now, and have more than that many fans? I feel like I'm on the wrong planet! ...But...at least I'm not BITTER! 🤣

One of the greats. I have seen him do this magic in person. As a sax/flute player myself, I recognize a master.His articuation and note choice is wonderful. I would say he is my major influence on flute.
James Moody. Dynamic jazz flute master!!!!
Thank you for showing the music notation along with the playing! Some of us still read the notes!
Absolutely the dirtiest most vile flute solo in human history. This is the pure distilled essence of blues
Best jazz flute playing I've ever heard. Wish I had discovered this 20 years ago.
I was fortunate to hear him play in Toronto at what was The Top of the Senator in the 90's. It was a wonderful night of music I'll never forget.
I'm usually not a big fan of jazz flute, but this is really good.
Jazz flute at its absolute best. No one can touch this.
It's James Moody ....multi instrumentalist......of course it's gonna be cool ....this is the guy we all want to sound like
Never been a fan of the flute. ... until now. That was very nice. I love the upright base strolling along lightly in the background as well. Thats a very nice piece.
What an amazing solo! James Moody was an absolute monster on alto, tenor, and flute. Thanks for sharing! Aside from the others mentioned, Thomas Chapin was superb on flute, be it on C, alto, or bass flute, as well saxophones (alto, baritone, and sopranino). He left us much too soon, and his trio with Mario Pavone and Michael Sarin was my favorite saxophone-bass-drums trio of all time, bar none.

I think flute is in jazz like an oboe or accordion or French horn - its inherent sound isn’t conducive to swing. But in the right hands it CAN swing, as demonstrated so well here.

Funny. Moody says the same thing about himself. He insists that he's still a "student". But I heard him at the Lighthouse many years ago, and he played a long ascending glissando in parallel octaves - sort of like yodeling - that just blew me away. I've still never heard anything like it. Well, he's quite the student, isn't he?
What an awesome performance and piece. The transcription is absolutely epic. I could feel my reading chops getting better and better with every minute that passed! Much appreciation for the hard work put into making it.
That was fantastic
James Moody is an inspiration. His dedication to his craft is(was) otherworldly. He could perform with anybody in any genre.

I love the detail that you included Gillespie's intro, a really charismatic man... James Moody is also a damn beast, he really nailed that flute solo at the end
This is first class jazz flute, there're other g❤ood jazz flute players I have been listening to for almost 60 years, a good example is Paul horn in the movie "Night Tide with an early Dennis Hopper[1961] there is a jazz club scene with Paul Horn playing the jazz flute----there is quite a bit of jazz flute out there, again this is first class jazz flute in this u-tube video . just listen around you find enjoyment is other jazz flute artists.
Pretty impressive! One of my favourite jazz flute moments was when Anthony Ortega (damn, I just found out he died in October last year) played Stormy on Gábor Szabó's live album. He was playing the flute into an Echoplex and it sounds very haunting.
