Moondog
Ojc, 1991
world music from a world of Moondog's own
This music is sectioned under jazz, but it's so unique that it feels strange to me that it be called jazz. Most of the music is polyrhythmic percussion, including woodwinds & strings. There's also some classical instrumentation & some fun piano music. One of the 2 ...

Moondog (Louis Thomas Hardin)

A Good Place to Start
This is a very good place to start with Moondog's music. I disagree entirely with the previous reviewer as to the quality of the performances. Here, "Bird's Lament" is more dynamic, faster paced and, as with most of this cd, a lot of fun. If you can't find anything to ...

Ojc, 1991
Eccentric Centrist
Odd-ball individuals are more common than geniuses, but Moondog is both. Harry Partch had the highest regard for this blind graduate of Julliard, whose fantastic get-up of skins, furs and horns might have detracted from the impact of less seminal music. Since he was ...

Elliott Goldenthal, John Cage
This eclectic CD is a must for fans of Elliott Goldenthal or John Cage. Additionally anyone who is plays in a brass qunintet or is intersted in brass quintet music should listen to this CD to expand their views of what a brass quintet can do in the comtemporary music ...

Atlantic / Wea, 1997
yes, oh yes, moondog is the best
this music was already in my head before I heard it. blocks of chords ascending and exploding in fugal fireworks, plus evocations of an imaginary jungle-jive Paris love affair. unbelievably soulful, funny, charming, surprising. you like moondog! you like moondog! ...

The Different Drummer We Once Were
I bought this album because of a memory, but the music stands up remarkably well to a more objective listening. It was my first trip to New York City, and my father approached the wildly-dressed, tall and intiimidating figure standing on the corner of 56th St. and 7th ...

Late Moondog
When Louis Hardin moved to Europe in 1974, he was received as visiting royalty -- unlike his home country who treated him as some sort of one-joke street-performer. For the next 25 years, until his passing in 1999, he produced an astonishing variety of music for ...

Beat Goes On, 2000
This needs a more articulate review...
To tell the truth, the only reason I even listened to this disc in the store is because I spotted the cover, and wondered what the hell a guy who looked like that could sound like. I had a gushing smile on my face as I realized there was real talent and expression ...

Nonesuch, 1997
one of their best
If you like simple, string quartet music as much as I do, then you've got to listen to this. It is a generous 68 minutes of plaintive music--no discontinuities and surpises like on their Black Angels recording. It is all slow and mournful.
