James Moody – James Moody (60th Anniversary Edition – RSD UK 2025 Exclusive)
Celebrating its 60th anniversary, this essential recording from jazz legend James Moody returns to vinyl as an official Record Store Day UK 2025 selection. Showcasing Moody’s extraordinary range—from expressive flute passages to bold saxophone lines—this album captures a true master at the height of his creative powers.

A pivotal figure of the bebop era, Moody rose to prominence with Dizzy Gillespie’s big band, gaining international acclaim for his iconic solo on “I’m in the Mood for Love,” which inspired the vocalese standard “Moody’s Mood for Love.” Across a six-decade career, he remained a revered improviser, composer, and arranger, collaborating with jazz luminaries including Quincy Jones, John Coltrane, and Herbie Hancock.

This 60th anniversary reissue honors both the tradition and innovation Moody embodied, making it a must-have for jazz vinyl collectors and new listeners alike.
