Guest Bill Barton Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 i think pate went to berklee. Could be... The info I posted is from the press release for the event and they state that he is a NEC alum. Go figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) i think pate went to berklee. i think you're mistaken. berklee does not list him as an alumnus. Edited January 28, 2008 by jazzshrink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I was there. Moses was very self-effacing, by choice, and it was definitely Muñoz's night. I'm still processing it, but there's no doubt in my mind that Muñoz is a rare and undeniable musician. His tone alone, with minimal equipment, is amazing.

I had the Munoz LP on India Navigation and wasn't feeling it. I think I got $30 for it, but maybe it would be something I'd enjoy now. Still dig Moses' Bittersuite LP but haven't dug too much beyond that and the odd Gary Burton side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large ensemble recordings on Gramavision are well worth checking out: When Elephants Dream of Music (1982), Visit with the Great Spirit (1983) and Time Stood Still (1993). I haven't heard The Story of Moses from '87 which is also a large group recording. His compositions and arrangements knocked me out then and still do. Another disc that I like a lot is Nishoma (Beautiful Soul) from 2000, a smaller combo recording on the Grapeshot label; there are a couple of tunes on here that are trios for bass clarinet, drumset and tap dancer (Jimmy Slyde) - gotta love it...
