Nostalgia in Times Square is an album by American jazz saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc, which was recorded in 1985 and released the following year on the Italian Soul Note label.
He leads a quintet that features Ornette Coleman guitarist Bern Nix, former Roland Kirk pianist Rahn Burton, bassist William Parker and drummer Denis Charles.
"Flora," a ballad named for Moondoc's maternal grandmother, marks his recorded debut on soprano saxophone, a horn he first played in the early 1970s as a member of Cecil Taylor's student orchestra at Antioch College.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "is interesting for the addition of a guitar player and the abandonment of vibes for piano" but notes that "it's certainly a conservative step and there's nothing on the set that really grabs attention.
"[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Tim Niland called the recording a "forward thinking, yet swinging album," and commented: "Despite just being a quintet, the group was able to achieve a much bigger sound than their size indicated...This was a very enjoyable album, reminiscent of the music that was made by Charles Mingus last great working band with Don Pullen and George Adams.
