Moody, Mumbles, Cuba and Free Gifts from JazzCorner.com After a 10 month challenge with pancreatic cancer, James Moody died on December 9th. I first met Moody in the early 80s, when I was "assigned" to interview him for an NPR New Year's Eve broadcast. It was for me, love at first sight. He was so concerned that I was at ease, and told me a silly joke just to relax. I've long forgotten the joke, but I will never forget his easy going manner, wry humor and musical versatility that served him well in a career in which he moved deftly from alto and tenor saxophones to clarinet and flute.

Here is another 20 to add to the list. Remember that there is no ranking system here, and if you don’t see your favorite jazz album yet, it doesn’t mean it won’t show up. Every week I will offer up twenty more, in no particular order and with no ranking system or common theme (other than jazz of course).

Blondie Chaplin (Guitar, Vocals) The greatest success for South Africa-born multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Blondie Chaplin has come as a sideman for such groups as the Beach Boys, the Band, and the Rolling Stones. His hook-laden melodies have enhanced albums by Jennifer Warnes, Bonnie Raitt, David Johansen, Elliott Murphy, and the Band's Rick Danko. Chaplin initially attracted attention as a member of the Flames, a soul cover band that became the first non-white group to reach the top slot on South Africa's music charts with their 1968 single, "For Your Precious Love." The following year, the band's performance in a London club was overheard by Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys.
