We wanted to take some time today and post a few words in tribute to the late Jazz saxophonist/flutist James Moody who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday at age 85. Moody’s career spanned well over 60 years, now that’s an artist… to have over six decades of something to “say”. Moody thank you for the sound and the jovial nature of your personality which was reflected in your playing. Rest in peace.
