Pittsburgh-born trombonist Emmett Goods returns home to celebrate his grandfather, the legendary drummer J.C. Moses. Largely forgotten, Moses was an important part of the post-bop NYC Jazz scene of the 1960s, performing and recording with Clifford Jordan, Kenny Dorham, Eric Dolphy, Archie Shepp, Charles Lloyd, Bud Powell, and Don Cherry, among many others. Emmett and company will perform compositions associated with J.C.’s long career, while discussing his life and legacy.
