Jazz Great James Moody Ill with Terminal Cancer

Saw him in Boston with Carl about 10 years ago.  Excellent show.  Wonderful musician and human being.  He posed for a picture with us.

Send him a personal greeting at moodysmountain@cox.net.

I saw him on tour with Randy Brecker and some "all star" band a few years ago. He was easily the oldest guy on the stage at the time but certainly held his own and then some. He also seems like a very funny guy, telling stories and singing a very funny tune that had the whole audience laughing out loud.

It's always a shame to lose talent like this.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you'll have to blow your nose.
