Moncur Iii, Grachan
Exploration
This 2004 recording had marked the return of Grachan Moncur III (June 3, 1937 - June 3, 2022). While he never completely left the musical scene, he certainly had been out of the limelight. Moncur's compositions have a singular "in and out" quality reflecting his own varied musical experiences. The repertoire revisits Moncur classics and features the talents of Gary Bartz, Billy Harper, Gary Smulyan, Tim Hagens and Andrew Cyrille.
