JAZZ ARTIST OF THE WEEK - GRACHAN MONCUR III

The jazz artist of the weeks is the lesser known and sorely under-recorded jazz trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III. His only two releases on the Blue Note label shown here were perfect vehicles for his composing and improvisational talents. Utilizing an all star cast of Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, Bobby Hutcherson, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock these recordings for Blue Note are definitely worth checking out!
