Moondog, Sax Pax for a Sax (CD)

Somehow this 1994 CD gets overlooked despite the incessant interest in Moondog. Sax Pax for a Sax is obviously neither his best nor his strangest work, but it's still weird and enjoyable. Mostly instrumental with some odd "chorus" style vocals, it does (as the title implies) emphasize a lot of saxophone arrangements. The melodies are rooted in standards in some ways, and in Moondog's distinctive voice and vision in others. It's crazy that Danny Thompson and Peter Hammill show up, but not so cool that the cover art is so uninteresting.
