National Jazz Museum in Harlem December Schedule

Saxophonist, flautist, composer, and vocalist James Moody has long been considered one of the world's finest jazz musicians. Though originally booked to play this week, Moody has been advised by his doctors to stay at home and rest while he continues to recuperate from gallbladder surgery. This week's performance will instead be a tribute to Moody, and fittingly, some of today's top saxophonists have rallied together to show their appreciation for his life's work and support for a speedy recovery. In the 'Saxophone Summit: Salute To James Moody,' pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Todd Coolman and drummer Adam Nussbaum will be joined by saxophonists Eric Alexander and Antonio Hart each night. Special guest saxophonists will be joining the band throughout the week, including Chris Potter (Aug. 24), Jimmy Heath (Aug. 26), Lew Tabackin (Aug. 27), Ada Rovatti Brecker (Aug. 28) and Joe Lovano (Aug. 29), among others. Moody has always been a part of the Blue Note family, and along with the incredible artists coming out to support him this week, we wish him a speedy recovery and good health in the future.
