Synopsis

Album Description

This is the second Moondog LP, originally released on Prestige in 1956. It continues the NYC street performer's exploration of minimalist composition and field recording, mixing percussion and sparse melodies with piano solos, street sounds, and monologues. Surprisingly accessible despite it's avant-garde nature, bridging the gap between the familiar and the bizarre. Another all out masterwork from one of 20th century America's most unique minds.

CD Reviews

World music from a world of Moondog's own

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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 instruments in the first song on the cd is a blowing boat. In one of my favorite parts of this cd, Moondog is arguing with a little dog & starting by saying, "That's mine, you can't have it." A few minutes later, though, I think the little dog gets to have it."

"If this is your first introduction to Moondog, you won't be disappointed. He's a percussionist, as far as I can tell, using all sorts of sounds from the streets of NYC. It's not jazz really, or orchestration, although it can be compared to both. It is clean, quiet, percussion more than anything else. One voice with no eyes. Dig it."
