80 Years Young: Live at the Blue Note, March 26, 2005

The first half of the party is all Moody, and it's a hoot, as he sings and plays through the humorous "Benny's From Heaven", vocaleses on 'Moody's Mood For Love/The Television Rap" and floats with his flute on the bopper "Cherokee". With the invited hitting the stage, Faddis and Hampton are in to form on "Birk's Works", Walton joins in the jam with Brecker and D'Rivera on "Ow" and the horns are a-plenty on the V8 cruise of "Bebop". This is why jazz makes you smile.
