THE FIERY sonics of  Chicagoan alto saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc revel in true jazz freedom and they have at last been recognised by a series of finely wrought albums on the Relative Pitch label.

Moondoc chose jazz and the blues as an alternative to a career as an architect and played in James Tatum's Blues Band before hearing the free and incendiary sounds of pianist Cecil Taylor that transformed his musical life.

He founded the Ensemble Muntu with bassist William Parker and later the Jus' Grew Orchestra, but such revolutionary musical formations were never going to be high earners and Moondoc's revolutionary, innovative music never gained the exposure it deserved.
