Moondog - Moondog And His Friends (Remastered) '2018

Tracks list

Originally released in 1953, this collection of very early Moondog pieces
features the same tribal rhythmic impulse as his famed Prestige recordings,

Theres an impressive line in chamber music running through these compositions:
the B-side is dedicated to two suites for strings, which could easily pass for
more traditional works were it not for the heavy bongo presence (something
Haydn, Mozart et al were always sorely missing).

Essentially though you can hear a sense of discipline, and a thorough working
knowledge of conventional classical composition in Moondogs work, even if he
ultimately chooses to subvert it. All this is further destabilised by slightly
weirder excursions like Tree Frog - Be A Hobo, which fit into some odd
percussion-centric take on what might loosely be termed as a song. More
idiosyncratic, entirely uncategorizable work from one of 20th century musics
true mavericks.
