Murfreesboro, TN
Moe and drummer Duffy Jackson (from the Count Basie Band, among many others) will be among many of Middle Tennessee's jazz musicians putting on a benefit for WMOT, Jazz 89 Radio. WMOT is a non-profit station on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.

Proposed budget cuts threaten to shut the station off. It is the only jazz radio station in this part of the state, and is very important to the middle Tennessee jazz community. Admission is free, but donations are requested.

A new batch of "Soul Jazz Sessions" CDs have the sequence of the songs in the wrong order on the artwork. If you have purchased one of these copies, please contact Moe and he'll get a corrected sequence to you. These would probably include any that were purchased during or after April 2007.

Hurricane Katrina has affected just about everybody I know...and don't know...My former boss, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown lived in Slidell, Louisiana, on a bayou. His public performances were down to almost none, due to lung cancer, and a heart condition. During the hurricane, we were concerned about his whereabouts and health. After several days we found out that he had made it out of Slidell with one or two of his prized guitars and got to his brother's house in Orange, Texas.

Then, on Saturday, September 10th, the stress of the whole situation was apparently more than he could handle, and he passed away at the age of 81. I owe a lot to "Gate", as it was he who helped me resurrect my career in 1990, after 5 horrible years in my personal life. He was a great musician...musician being the operative word here......most folks new him as a blues musician...but he hated being labeled anything. He claimed that he played "Texas and World Music". That he did.
He is buried with his parents in Orange, Texas.

I've just completed another CD with the newly formed trio, "Trio Soul", an organ trio headed by saxophonist Rahsaan Barber. "Trio Soul" will do a limited amount of gigging in the southeastern region this summer...working around the schedules of all three members. Will keep updated on this site. Rahsaan tells me that the release of this cd is scheduled for about July first.

I performed with the musical entity known as "The Project," which focuses on the experimentation and evolution of music through varied improvisational and production techniques. Using what is considered Jazz as the foundation, "The Project" pushes forward by incorporating countless other compositional styles and elements into their intense productions.
