The record

Cut in the mid-'63 Cadet sessions, this set finds Moody moving easily between tenor, alto, and flute, favoring the warm, big-band-schooled lyricism he'd honed since his Dizzy Gillespie days. A relaxed, tuneful date that shows off his triple-threat versatility rather than any single horn.
