Playing Moondog’s Music

Recorded in 1955 and released on his own short lived Moondog label this record features four tracks of manic saxophone and snare drum mayhem. You will not find an original of this anywhere! Blind from the age of 17, classically trained in music, Moondog aka Louis Hardin left the countryside in the late 1940s to busk on the streets of New York, playing percussion instruments of his own creation, He later became the darling of the NY arts & music set. He also recorded for Folkways, Woody Herman’s Mars label, then Prestige and CBS. Mr Scruff lifted nearly a complete track from the CBS LP “Moondog” for his dance hit “Get a Move On”. A stunning reissue from Honest Jons
