Late Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I only know Mover through two of his records for Xanadu — In The True Tradition and Things Unseen, both highly recommended. An "inside/outside" player, the guy's resume is impressive, but he doesn't seem to get talked about much, or maybe I've just been asleep on the news. Fans? What other recommendations? Check out this 1975 solo with Chet Baker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGx67-CttaA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) His Choice date with Tom Harrell is quite nice as well. Very Konitz-like on that recording... and didn't he make a two-alto record with Konitz as well? Edited April 27, 2015 by Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Noal Cohen also has a (better) discography of Mover: http://www.attictoys.com/BobMover/Bob_Mover_discography.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Konitz's Affinity: Lee Konitz: alto saxophone Bob Mover: alto saxophone Ben Aronov: piano Michael Moore: bass Jimmy Madison: drums rec. 1977 Two tracks from the Choice record are on YouTube. Both excellent. Edited December 27, 2017 by Late (replaced image) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Glad to see this thread. He's an old and dear friend, living in NY, and still playing very well at 63. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have these CDs by Bob Mover. They are all very good in my opinion. Bob Mover - You Go To My Head - Jazz City Bob Mover - Television - DSM bob Mover - It Amazes Me - Zoho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 He was on some of those later 70s Vanguard albums, wasn't he? Albeit not to good advantage, iirc, some "pop"-ish things like The Players or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 He's in NYC playing and recording. I always like him as a player and a person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Not sure why, but Bob Mover as a New York musician does not get many opportunities to record. He seems a bit off the radar compared to many others , some of whom are less interesting performers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Weiss Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 He sings a lot on the It Amazes Me album, but he plays his ass off as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
