About

These previously unreleased recordings from a Danish Radio concert in October 1961 and a TV recording in Malmø, Sweden in November 1961, make this album an important addition to American jazz tenor saxophonist Brew Moore's discography and a reminder of a genius whose life ended too prematurely.

"Music must be a personal expression of one's own world and way of life. When everything else gets to be a drag, there is music for forgetfulness and also for memory and for a reminder that there is more good than bad in most things." (Moore in an interview with Ralph J. Gleason in 1956)

Brew Moore: tenor saxophone

Harold Goldberg: piano, alto horn

Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen: bass

Alex Riel: drums
