Moody (James Moody album)

Moody (also released as Moody's Workshop) is an album by saxophonist James Moody composed of sessions from 1954 with a septet arranged by Quincy Jones.

The LP was released on the Prestige label.

[1][2] Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, stated: "In the mid-'50s James Moody led a four-horn septet that played music falling somewhere between bop and rhythm & blues.

The danceable rhythms and riffing made its recordings somewhat accessible but the solos of Moody (on tenor and alto) and trumpeter Dave Burns also held listener's interests".
