An excellent English tenor saxophonist,
Danny Moss had a rare opportunity to record as a leader for the Nagel-Heyer label during late 1994, in what was his 50th year as a professional musician. Accompanied by pianist
Brian Lemon, bassist
Len Skeat, and drummer
Butch Miles,
Moss digs into 14 standards, alternating stomps with ballads. He is a fine player who, due to being based in Europe, tends to get overlooked in the U.S. when one discusses top swing stylists of the 1990s.
Moss' quartet outing is easily recommended to fans of straight-ahead mainstream jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
