More Moondog / The Story Of Moondog - Moondog (2) - Audio CD - Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Moondog, often dubbed the 'Viking of 6th Avenue,' carved a singular path through mid-century music, fusing street-corner minimalism with the pulse of jazz. 'More Moondog / The Story Of Moondog' captures his most intriguing period, presenting pieces that blend rhythmic invention with melodic whimsy. This collection is a window into Moondog’s fiercely independent vision—tracks bristle with unconventional percussion, counterpoint, and hypnotic repetition, all animated by the city’s restless energy. The album’s impact extends beyond mere novelty; it’s a blueprint for experimental jazz and a manifesto for outsider artistry. Each listen reveals new contours: the clang of handmade instruments, the gentle persuasion of woodwinds, the subtle nods to both medieval and modern forms. Moondog’s music is never content to sit still; it invites you to listen closely, to walk the city at his pace, and to hear the world anew. For collectors and listeners eager to explore the crossroads of jazz, minimalism, and pure imagination, this double album is an essential artifact—one that rewards curiosity with every spin.
