the "william faulkner of jazz" died today. he was 89, so he had a good run. i didn't listen to his records obsessively, but always dug his persona--he was a white guy who could do the blues without seeming pandering or inauthentic--he was effortlessly cool.
I've been hit or miss collecting his records but have always thought of him(like Faulkner) as uniquely at a nexus of genres. Jazz, blues, and pop. Pete Townsend considered Mose a strong influence.
