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.

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".

In this episode, the archive explains the historical origins of #bebop, the 1939 debut of the saxophone as a jazz solo instrument and Coleman Hawkins role in the introduction of the sax solo and the birth of bebop. Bebop is mostly about the free-swinging improv. Hard bop is a restrained version of bebop. Same style but reined in a bit.

Bebop can get a bit goose-honky if the soloist over-does it.

The sweet spot for me in music, not just jazz but predominantly jazz, was 1947-ish through 1969. Be Bop, into Hard Bop, into West Coast Cool

This vid is cool for several reasons. Dizzy, sweet Bop, and a presenter who is the pinnacle of club/radio curation

Sorry #bebop heads, but Richie Coles performance in Leningrad in 1990 might be the best example of the style

"I Got Rhythm" is a piece composed by #GeorgeGershwin with lyrics by #IraGershwin and published in 1930, which became a #jazzStandard. Its #chordProgression, known as the "#rhythmChanges", is the foundation for many other popular jazz tunes such as #CharlieParker's and #DizzyGillespie's #bebop standard #AnthropologyThrivinOnARiff.

"In 1955, as the Soviet Union’s pervasive propaganda about the U.S. and American racism spread globally, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. convinced President Eisenhower that jazz was the best way to intervene in the Cold War cultural conflict. For the next decade, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Dave Brubeck traveled the globe to perform as cultural ambassadors."—PBS America
