Forgotten genius of jazz guitar

By rob920@email.msn on February 10, 2000

Format: Audio CD

It astounds me how neglected the great Oscar Moore is today when discussing the lineage of master jazz guitarists. The man had everything. Great taste, superb feel for rhythm, endless invention, soul, etc. To my knowledge, these recordings were made sometime in the early 50's, but Moore's ideas still sound contemporary. Listen to the beauty of "Body and Soul" or "Moonlight in Vermont". What about the drive of "Walking Home"? or the soul of "Love for Sale" . I recommend this record to anyone who loves beautiful music.

A wonderful great guitarist.

By Marco Vienna on April 16, 2006

Format: Audio CD

Maybe only the most experienced jazz musicians and listeners have ever heard about the name of Oscar Moore, and probably just because he used to be part of the famous Nat King Cole Trio. That's a real pity, because Oscar Moore was truely a great musician, and this is clearly showed in this record. He was really able to make a tune sing, and in his improvisational inventions he could play very advanced melodic harmonic and rhythmic ideas, nevertheless always mantaining a pleasant melodic and "straight-simple" style. Every phrase is smart and surprising, the repertoire choice very suitable and interesting, including the Moore originals, the band swings hard, the remastering sounds fair, there is just some clipping distortion on the loudest guitar notes, a bit annoying, but overall this is a greatly recommended record, especially if you like jazz guitar and the transictional jazz era between swing and bebop, like me. It's a shame that Oscar Moore has not recorded more works on his name.

Some forgotten giants with a distinctive West Coast jazz sound

By Mike Tarrani HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on October 10, 2012

Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase

The tracks on this album epitomize the laid back West Coast style and not only showcase Moore's rhythmic and harmonic genius, but his composing skills as well. Moore wrote or co-wrote tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, 15 and 16. In fact, the entire ensemble were exceptional musicians with many high-profile accomplishments, but who are sadly forgotten.

Please take the time to listen to the sound samples on this page. In them you can clearly hear Moore's personal approach to music, as well as the genius of pianist Carl Perkins and bassist Joe Comfort. Moreover, the drummer is Lee Young, Lester's brother.

Moore is sadly less known today. He actually preceded Charlie Christian on electric guitar, but was quickly eclipsed because of Christian's wider exposure. His playing with Nat's early trio, which included bassist Johnny Miller, was one of the reasons for Nat's rise to stardom because all three were virtuoso musicians who managed melody, rhythm and harmony with such sophistication that every musician should study them. Moore's guitar is prominent on every track and may pique the interest of guitarists who stumble across this album. If you want more examples of his playing I recommend these two compilations: Nat King Cole Trio: Instrumental Classics and 10-CD Set by Nat King Cole.

Pianist Carl Perkins (not to be confused the rockabilly guitarist of Blue Suede Shoes fame) racked up a list of accomplishments in his short life.Read more ›

Awsome guitar

By James D. Speer, Jr. on November 23, 1999

Format: Audio CD

Oscar Moore was the guitarist for the Nat King Cole Trio. He had an incredible guitar style all his own. He had a sophisticated sense of harmony and could comp some great chord lines as well as being a very hot soloist. I have loved this disc since the very first time I heard it.
