Over the past few weeks, proponents of the nuclear deal with Iran — from President Barack Obama on 
down — have marshaled a powerful attack on some of the deal's most prominent opponents. 
Specifically, they've been pointing out an indisputable fact: Many of the individuals and organizations 
that are most actively lobbying and speaking out against the deal helped dream up the idea of invading 
Iraq or worked hard to convince Congress and the American people to go along with the idea. The logic 
of the pro-deal camp is simple: Given that the opponents were so catastrophically wrong about the 
Iraq War, no one should listen to their advice today. 
I agree with this basic argument, of course, but opponents of the deal do have one line of defense 
against the "Wrong on Iraq, Wrong on Iran" meme. It is possible someone could have been dead 
wrong about the wisdom of invading Iraq in 2003, but nonetheless be correct to oppose the nuclear 
deal with Iran today. None of us is infallible, and it is at least conceivable that Bill Kristol, Elliott 
Abrams, James Woolsey, Fred Hiatt, Max Boot, et al. could have blown it big-time in 2002 - but be 
absolutely right this time around. 
Conceivable, I suppose, but highly unlikely. Why? Because their views in 2002 aren't independent 
from the views they're expressing today. On the contrary, their earlier support for the Iraq War and 
their opposition to the Iran deal stem from the basic neoconservative worldview that informs their 
entire approach to foreign policy. 
To be more specific, the problem isn't that these people just happened to be embarrassingly wrong 
about Iraq. After all, plenty of other people were equally misguided back then, including many people 
who now support the deal today. Nor is the problem the neocons' stubborn and morally dubious 
refusal to admit they were wrong and take responsibility for the lives and money they squandered. 
No, the real problem is that the neoconservative worldview — one that still informs the thinking of 
many of the groups and individuals who are most vocal in opposing the Iran deal — is fundamentally 
flawed. Getting Iraq wrong wasn't just an unfortunate miscalculation, it happened because their 
theories of world politics were dubious and their understanding of how the world works was goofy. 
When your strategic software is riddled with bugs, you should expect a lot of error messages. 
What are the main flaws that consistently lead neoconservatives astray? 
For starters, neoconservatives think balance-of-power politics doesn't really work in international 
affairs and that states are strongly inclined to "bandwagon" instead. In other words, they think weaker 
states are easy to bully and never stand up to powerful adversaries. Their faulty logic follows that other 
states will do whatever Washington dictates provided we demonstrate how strong and tough we are. 
This belief led them to conclude that toppling Saddam would send a powerful message and cause other 
states in the Middle East to kowtow to us. If we kept up the pressure, our vast military power would 
quickly transform the region into a sea of docile pro-American democracies. 
What happened, alas, was that the various states we were threatening didn't jump on our bandwagon. 
Instead, they balanced and then took steps to make sure we faced significant and growing resistance. 
In particular, Syria and Iran (the next two states on the neocons' target list), cooperated even further 
EFTA00846374

with each other and helped aid the anti-American insurgency in Iraq itself. Neocons were outraged by 
this behavior, but it shouldn't have surprised anyone who understood Realism 101. At the same time, 
long-standing U.S. allies were upset by our actions and distanced themselves from us or else they took 
advantage of our excesses and free-rode at our expense. In short, the neoconservatives' belief that the 
United States could browbeat and intimidate others into doing our bidding was dead wrong. 
Today, of course, opposition to the Iran deal reflects a similar belief that forceful resolve would enable 
Washington to dictate whatever terms it wants. As I've written before, this idea is the myth of a "better 
deal." Because neocons assume states are attracted to strength and easy to intimidate, they think 
rejecting the deal, ratcheting up sanctions, and threatening war will cause Iran's government to finally 
cave in and dismantle its entire enrichment program. On the contrary, walking away from the deal will 
stiffen Iran's resolve, strengthen its hard-liners, increase its interest in perhaps actually acquiring a 
nuclear weapon someday, and cause the other members of the P5+1 to part company with the United 
States. 
The neoconservative worldview also exaggerates the efficacy of military force and downplays the value 
of diplomacy. Military force is an essential component of national power, of course, but neocons tend 
to see it as a magical tool that can accomplish all sorts of wonderful things (such as the creation of 
workable democracies) for which it is not really designed. In reality, military force is a crude 
instrument whose effects are hard to foresee and one which almost always produces unintended 
consequences (see under: Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, etc.). So it was in Iraq, and the results of a 
direct military conflict with Iran would be equally unpredictable. 
Moreover, neocons believe military force is a supple tool that can be turned on and off like a spigot. If 
the United States uses force and things go badly, they seem to think the nation can just pull out quickly 
and live to fight another day. But that's not how things work in the real world of politics: Once forces 
are committed, the military brass will demand the chance to win a clear victory, and politicians will 
worry about the nation's prestige and their own political fortunes. The conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, 
Yemen, and Somalia should remind us that it's a lot easier to get into wars than it is to get out of them, 
but that lesson has been lost on most neoconservatives. 
Third, the neoconservatives have a simplistic and ahistorical view of democracy itself. They claim their 
main goal is spreading freedom and democracy (except for Palestinians, of course), but they have no 
theory to explain how this will happen or how toppling a foreign government with military force will 
magically cause democracy to emerge. Instead, they believe the desire to live in freedom is hardwired 
into human DNA, and all one has to do is remove the bad guys at the top. Once they are gone, the now-
liberated population will forget past grievances, form political parties, embrace tolerance, line up for 
orderly elections, accept the resulting outcomes willingly, and offer grateful thanks to Uncle Sam. 
It would be nice if that Pollyannaish scenario were accurate, but such views betray near-total ignorance 
of the prerequisites for meaningful democracy and the actual history of democratic growth in the West 
itself. In fact, the development of liberal democracy was a long, contentious, imperfect, and often 
violent process in Western Europe and North America, and anyone familiar with that history would 
have known the neocons' formula for democratic change was doomed from the start. 
EFTA00846375

Fourth, as befits a group of armchair ideologues whose primary goal has been winning power inside 
the Beltway, neoconservatives are often surprisingly ignorant about the actual conditions of the 
countries whose politics and society they want to transform. Hardly any neoconservatives knew very 
much about Iraq before the United States invaded — if they had, they might have reconsidered the 
whole scheme — and their characterizations of Iran today consist of scary caricatures bearing little 
resemblance to Iran's complicated political and social reality. In addition to flawed theories, in short, 
the neoconservative worldview also depends on an inaccurate reading of the facts on the ground. 
Last but not least, the neoconservatives' prescriptions for U.S. foreign policy are perennially distorted 
by a strong attachment to Israel, which Max Boot (and others) have described as a "key tenet" of the 
entire movement. There's nothing wrong with such attachments per se, of course, but it has crippled 
their ability to give sensible policy advice to U.S. politicians. In particular, neoconservatives tend to 
believe that what's good for Israel is good for the United States — and vice versa — which is why they 
see no conflict between their attachment to Israel and their loyalty to the United States. But no two 
states have identical interests all the time, and when the interests of two countries conflict, people who 
feel strongly about both are forced to decide which of these feelings is going to take priority. 
Over the past few weeks, some proponents of the deal have pointed out — correctly — that some 
opponents don't like the deal because they think it is bad for Israel and because the Netanyahu 
government is dead set against it. As one might expect, pointing out these obvious facts has led some 
opponents of the deal to accuse proponents (including President Obama) of anti-Semitism. But as Lara 
Friedman, J.J. Goldberg, and Peter Beinart have made clear, this charge is absurd, even laughable. 
Among other things, it appears a majority of American Jews support the deal — and so do plenty of 
distinguished figures in Israel's own national security establishment. If anything, it is Netanyahu's 
efforts to persuade American Jews that it is their duty to support him, rather than their own president, 
that echoes those hateful anti-Semitic canards about "dual loyalty." 
Instead of being a serious criticism, this familiar smear is really just a way to change the subject and to 
put proponents of the deal on the defensive for pointing out the obvious. Fortunately, in this case the 
charge just doesn't seem to be sticking, and its appearance is just another sign that opponents don't 
have rational arguments or solid evidence to justify their opposition. 
The bottom line: The fact that the neoconservatives, AIPAC, the Conference of Presidents, and other 
groups in the Israel lobby were wrong about the Iraq War does not by itself mean that they are 
necessarily wrong about the Iran deal. But when you examine their basic views on world politics and 
their consistent approach to U.S. Middle East policy, it becomes clear this is not a coincidence at all. 
Support for the Iraq War and opposition to the Iran deal flow from the same flawed premises, and 
that's why following their advice today would be as foolish as it was back in 2003.

What the hell is Candida? 
EFTA00846376

feline image I 
While reading an article in The Huffington Post, under the title 3 Foods to Avoid (That Are 
Killing Us from the Inside) halfway through I discovered that it was an infomercial for a digestive 
supplement that because of the bait and switch manipulation I have chosen to not mention the 
product. But what caught my interest is a little known bacteria (at least not known to me) is the 
bacteria Candida. 
Wikipedia describes Candida as the genus of yeasts and is the most common cause of fungal 
infections worldwide. Many species are harmless commensals or endosymbionts of hosts including 
humans; however, when mucosal barriers are disrupted or the immune system is compromised they 
can invade and cause disease. Candida albicans are the most commonly isolated species, and can 
cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of 
Candida can potentially spoil wines. Many species are found in gut flora, including C. albicans in 
mammalian hosts, whereas others live as endosymbionts in insect hosts. Systemic infections of the 
bloodstream and major organs (candidemia or invasive candidiasis), particularly in 
immunocompromised patients, affect over 90,000 people a year in the U.S. 
The DNA of several Candida species has been sequenced. Antibiotics promote yeast infections, 
including gastrointestinal Candida overgrowth, and penetration of the GI mucosa. While women are 
more susceptible to genital yeast infections, men can also be infected. Certain factors, such as 
prolonged antibiotic use, increase the risk for both men and women. People with diabetes or impaired 
immune systems, such as those with HIV, are more susceptible to yeast infections. Candida are 
almost universal in low numbers on healthy adult skin and albicans are part of the normal flora of the 
mucous membranes of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and female genital tracts. In the case of skin, 
the dryness of skin compared to other tissues prevents the growth of the fungus, but damaged skin or 
skin in intertriginous regions is more amenable to rapid growth of fungi. 
Overgrowth of several species including albicans can cause superficial infections such as 
oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (vaginal candidiasis). Oral 
candidiasis is common in elderly denture wearers. In otherwise healthy individuals, these infections 
can be cured with topical or systemic antifungal medications (commonly over-the-counter antifungal 
treatments like miconazole or clotrimazole). In debilitated or immunocompromised patients, or if 
introduced intravenously, candidiasis may become a systemic disease producing abscess, 
thrombophlebitis, endocarditis, or infections of the eyes or other organs. Typically, relatively severe 
EFTA00846377

neutropenia is a prerequisite for the Candida to pass through the defenses of the skin and cause 
disease in deeper tissues; in such cases, mechanical disruption of the infected skin sites is typically a 
factor in the fungal invasion of the deeper tissues. 
Candida Yeast/Fungal overgrowth has been found to be a common occurrence in many disorders 
and is also present in millions of other people who cannot figure out what is wrong with them, or what 
to do about it. Symptoms vary from person to person and fluctuate in severity, or may come and go. 
Most symptoms are invisible, which makes it difficult for others to understand the vast array of 
debilitating symptoms with which we contend. 
The most common are: 
• an incapacitating fatigue 
• problems with concentration and short-term memory 
• flu-like symptoms such as pain in the joints and muscle 
• extreme tightness in the shoulders and neck 
• hyper-acidity/acid reflux 
• brown colored mucus in the back of the throat 
• blisters in the mouth/tongue/throat 
• either white or "blood blisters" 
• un-refreshing sleep 
• sore throat 
• white coated tongue 
• dark circles under the eyes 
• an aversion to being touched or jumping 
• "crawling" skin 
• chronic sinus problems and headaches 
• chronic dental problems 
Visual disturbances may include blurring, sensitivity to light and eye pain. 
Psychological problems may include: 
• depression 
• irritability 
• anxiety 
• panic attacks 
• recurring obsessive thoughts 
• personality changes and mood swings (irrational rage or crying for no reason - fear of talking to 
people, any kind of confrontation, isolation) 
• paranoia 
More of the physical symptoms may include: 
• chills and night sweats 
• shortness of breath 
• dizziness and balance problems 
EFTA00846378

• sensitivity to heat and/or cold 
• alcohol intolerance 
• gluten and/or casein intolerance 
• irregular heartbeat 
• irritable bowel 
• constipation and/or diarrhea 
• painful gas and abdominal bloating 
• low-grade fever or low body temperature 
• numbness, tingling and/or burning sensations in the face or extremities 
• dryness of the mouth and eyes 
• difficulty swallowing 
• projectile vomiting 
Also: 
• menstrual problems including PMS 
• recurrent yeast infections 
• recurrent ear infections 
• rashes and dry, flaking skin 
• eczema 
• dermatitis 
• acne 
• skin discoloration and/or blotchiness 
• dandruff 
• jock and rectal itching 
• chronic athlete's foot 
• chronic toenail and fingernail fungus 
• ringing in the ears 
• allergies and sensitivities to noise/sound, foods, odors, chemicals 
• anemia 
• weight changes without changes in diet 
• light-headedness 
• feeling in a fog 
• fainting 
• muscle twitching and muscle weakness 
• restless legs 
• low sex drive and/or numbness in the genital area 
These are only the symptoms most commonly reported and documented. It can be an underlying 
condition in many diseases, but is often not diagnosed, misdiagnosed, disputed to even exist or is 
disregarded altogether. To a person who does not suffer with this bizarre combination (in one form or 
another), it may seem to be impossible. However, to those who have suffered, it is a blessing and a 
confirmation that they are not alone. 
How do you test for candida overgrowth? 
Blood test 
EFTA00846379

You'll want to start by checking your levels for candida antibodies called IgG, IgA, and IgM. This can 
be easily done through most labs, and high levels can clue you in to an overgrowth of candida. These 
tests can often be negative even when a stool or urine test is positive. Which brings me to the next two 
tests: 
Stool testing 
I find this to be the most accurate test out there. The lab will check for candida in your colon or lower 
intestines, and can usually determine the species of yeast — as well as which treatment will be most 
effective. Just make sure that your doctor orders a comprehensive stool test, rather than the standard. 
Urine Organix Dysbiosis Test 
This urine test looks for a waste product of candida yeast overgrowth that's called D-Arabinitol. 
Elevated results indicate an overgrowth of candida, and the test can help you determine if there is 
candida in your upper gut or small intestines. 
How do you treat candida overgrowth? 
Inline image 3 
To successfully treat candida, one needs to do three things: stop the yeast overgrowth, build up the 
friendly bacteria and heal your gut, so that candida can no longer enter your bloodstream. 
First step: getting rid of the candida overgrowth, which mainly requires switching to a low-
carbohydrate diet. Sugar is what feeds yeast. So one should start by eliminating sugar in all of its 
simple forms — such as candy, desserts, alcohol and flours. At the same time, cut back to just one cup 
a day of the more complex carbohydrates, like grains, beans, fruit, bread, pasta and potatoes. This will 
help prevent the candida from growing and eventually cause it to die. It is also recommended, 
eliminating all fermented foods. That's because, while it's common knowledge that fermented foods 
help to feed the good bacteria, most people don't realize that bad bacteria feed off of these foods as 
well. Still, using diet alone could take three to six months before the candida is back under control. 
Doctors often recommend that their patients use an anti-fungal medication, such as Diflucan or 
Nyastatin, for at least a month. 
If you are self-treating, you can also take a supplement of caprylic acid. Caprylic acid, which comes 
from coconut oil, basically "pokes holes" in the yeast cell wall, causing it to die. And while some people 
advise using herbs like oil of oregano, I don't recommend it since it can also kill the good bacteria. 
Next, one should rebuild the good bacteria that typically keep your candida population under control. 
Taking anywhere from 25 to too billion units of probiotics on a regular basis should help to reduce the 
EFTA00846380

candida levels and restore your levels of good bacteria. Finally, heal one's gut. Eliminating 
inflammatory foods that can harm your GI tract — and introducing foods that help — will prevent 
candida from working its way through your body, and dramatically improve one's overall health.

Are Generic Drugs As Good As The Real Thing? 
Inline image I 
In many ways, yes. But there are a few key differences you should know about. 
It's one of healthcare's greatest bargains: Nearly 88 percent of prescriptions written in the U.S. in 2014 
were for knock-offs of brand-name drugs, sold at a fraction of the price. And for the most part, 
consumers don't lose anything in the deal. "Even though generics aren't perfect replicas, the FDA is 
really on top of evaluating them and ensuring that the ones it approves have the same active 
ingredients and absorb in the bloodstream just as if a person were taking the brand name," says Mario 
Rocci, PhD, president of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Three 
things you should do before filling your next prescription: 
Gauge the grade. 
You may be surprised to learn that the FDA labels every copycat drug either A or B, depending on 
whether it releases active ingredients at the same rate and levels as the brand name (A) or at different 
rates or levels (B). If a drug enters your bloodstream too slowly or too quickly, it may cause side effects 
or prove ineffective, requiring your doctor to adjust your dose. While it's uncommon that you'll be 
prescribed a B drug, your pharmacist can tell you the rating of meds you're taking. 
EFTA00846381

Look for undisclosed side effects. 
Some medication side effects don't become apparent until a drug has been on the market for a few 
years, at which point the sheer number of people who have taken it can lead to the discovery of issues 
not present during a clinical trial. "If a brand-name drugmaker discovers a new side effect and wants 
to add it to the label, they can do so immediately," says Rocci. Generic manufacturers don't have that 
freedom; their drug's packaging info can't be altered in any way that's different from the original brand 
name, even if they learn of side effects. Print out the package insert for the brand-name drug online 
and compare it with your generic Rx. 
Read the ingredient list. 
Since the active ingredients in generic and brand-name drugs must remain the same, the biggest 
variables are inactive substances such as binders, fillers, flavors, and dyes used to keep a pill together 
or distinguish it from other meds. "An adverse reaction to a drug may be the result of an allergy to one 
of those components," says Stephen Schondelmeyer, PhD, professor and head of pharmaceutical care 
and health systems at the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy. Tell your doctor and 
pharmacist if you're allergic to any ingredients, like sulfites, gluten, or Yellow 5, that may be in your 
medication.

Things That You Might Not Know About Beets 
Inline image 1 
gt 
Inline image 3 
Did you know that one-third of the world's sugar supply comes not from sugar cane, but from a special 
variety of beets known as the sugar beet? Beets also have the distinction of being very rich in red 
pigment, and they'll stain your hands if you're not careful. In fact, borscht, a traditional Russian soup, 
is colored red with beet juice.... 
Beets 101 
Beets are both sweet and earthy tasting and pair well with other root vegetables as well as with tangy-
sweet fruits like pineapple. While most beets are deep red in color, there are a number of beet varieties 
that range in color from white to yellow to red. There's even one variety, known as the Chioggia beet, 
which has red and white concentric rings. 
Beets come to us from the Chenopodiaceae family and are related botanically to spinach. In fact, one 
variety of beets is known as the spinach, or leaf beet. It is grown for its greens, which are actually more 
nutritious than the root itself. 
Selection, Storage & Cooking 
Beets are available both canned and fresh at your grocer's market. However, fresh beets are 
considered to be crispier and more flavorful. If you're shopping for fresh beets, choose smaller beets 
over larger, tougher beets, and pass over any beets that are cracked, shriveled or look very dry. If the 
beet greens are still attached to the root, they should be crisp-looking and not at all wilted or slimy. 
Baby beets are available in some specialty and farmer's markets and are considered a delicacy for their 
tenderness and delicate flavor. 
EFTA00846383

Once your beets are home, you can refrigerate them in a perforated plastic bag, separate from the 
greens, for up to three weeks. Greens will only last for a few days in the refrigerator and should be 
used right away. Wash both the roots and leaves before using to remove any soil still clinging to them. 
You can either enjoy your beets raw on salads or sandwiches or cook them in any variety of ways, 
including boiling, baking, sautéing with other vegetables, or even pickling. Beets should be cooked 
with their peel on to preserve nutrients and to prevent their deep red color from leaking out, which 
turns them brown, making them unappetizing in appearance. 
You should also leave about half an inch of the stem on while cooking so that the pigment doesn't leak 
out of the top. Adding an acidic food to the pot can also help preserve the color of the beets. Both 
lemon juice and vinegar work well for this purpose. Once your beets are done cooking, peel the skin off 
while wearing gloves, unless you don't mind having your hands stained a deep red. 
Nutritional Benefits 
Beets are a great source of folate, the b-vitamin known for its role in preventing birth defects in 
growing fetuses. The root of the beet is also a good source of iron, potassium and magnesium, 
although an abundance of nutrition actually lies in its leafy greens. A half-cup of beet greens, cooked, 
supplies upwards of 92% of your daily need for vitamin A (as beta-carotene). 
Beet greens are also higher in potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin B6 
than the root. However, if it's the folate you're after, stick with the root, which supplies 17% of the 
RDA for this nutrient; beet greens only offer 2.5%. 
Here are nutritional facts for one-half cup of beets: 
Calories: 37 
Fat: 
Carbohydrates: 8g (2g dietary fiber) 
Protein: ig 
Nutrients and RDAs: 2omg magnesium (6%-7%); 32mg phosphorus (4.5%); lmg iron (10%); 
3mg vitamin C (5%); 68mcg folate (i7%) and 259mg potassium (8%-13%). There is no RDA for 
potassium, but adults need about 2,00o-3,000mg a day.

This week I invite you to enjoy the music of Mr. James Moody who for over six decades, saxophone 
and flutist master serenaded lovers with his signature song Moody's Mood for Love an improvisation 
on the chord progressions of I'm in the Mood for Love. Born in Savannah, Georgia on March 26, 1925 
and partially deaf. As a result when he was young and unable to hear the teacher, he was labelled 
mentally deficient and ordered to attend a school for the mentally disabled. Shortly thereafter, his 
family moved to Newark, New Jersey, where he attended public school. Eventually, his hearing 
problem was diagmsed and he was sent to the Bruce Street School for the Deaf He later attended Arts 
High in Newark,. James Moody took up the alto sax, a gift from his uncle, at the age of 16. Within 
a few years he fell under the spell of the deeper more full-bodied tenor saxophone after hearing Buddy 
Tate and Don Byas perform with the Count Basie Band at the Adams Theater in Newark, New Jersey. 
Moody, who preferred to be called by his last name, was born in Savannah, Georgia on March 26, 1925. 
His uncle gave him an alto sax when he was 16. After hearing Buddy Tate and Don Byas perform with 
the Count Basie Band at the Adams Theater in Newark, •., Moody switched to the tenor saxophone. 
He was just 18 years old when he was drafted into the Air Force in 1943 during World War II. Unable 
to play with the white Air Force band, Moody played in an unofficial Negro Air Force band for three 
years. He was disturbed by the segregation that was prevalent in the military service at that time. 
Incredibly, he met Dizzy Gillespie while in the Air Force, as Gillespie came through for a performance 
EFTA00846387

on the base. After he got out of the service, in 1946, he joined the recently formed Dizzy Gillespie Big 
Band, one of the most important jazz groups at that time. 
In 1946, following service in the United States Air Force, Moody joined the seminal bebop big band of 
Dizzy Gillespie, beginning an association that - on stage and record, in orchestras and small combos -
afforded a young Moody worldwide exposure and ample opportunity to shape his improvisational 
genius. Upon joining Gillespie, Moody was at first awed, he now admits, by the orchestra's incredible 
array of talent, which included Milt Jackson, Kenny Clark, Ray Brown, Thelonius Monk. The 
encouragement of the legendary trumpeter-leader, made his mark on the young saxophonist. His now 
legendary 16-bar solo on Gillespie's Emanon alerted jazz fans to an emerging world-class soloist. 
During his initial stay with Gillespie, Moody also recorded with Milt Jackson for Dial Records in 1947. 
One year later he made his recording debut as a leader James Moody and His Bop Men for (Blue 
Note). 
In 1949 Moody moved to Europe where in Sweden he recorded the masterpiece of improvisation for 
which he is renowned, Moody's Mood for Love. Returning to the States in 1952 with a huge "hit" on his 
hands, Moody employed vocalist Eddie Jefferson. Also, working with him during that period were 
Dinah Washington and Brook Benton. In 1963 he rejoined Gillespie and performed off and on in the 
trumpeter's quintet for the remainder of the decade. Moody moved to Las Vegas in 1973 and had a 
seven year stint in the Las Vegas Hilton Orchestra, doing shows for Bill Cosby, Ann-Margaret, John 
Davidson, Glen Campbell, Liberace, Elvis Presley, The Osmonds, Milton Berle, Redd FOX1C, Charlie 
Rich, and Lou Rawls to name a few. 
Moody returned to the East Coast and put together his own band again - much to the delight of his 
dedicated fans. In 1985, Moody received a Grammy Award Nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental 
Performance for his playing on Manhattan Transfer's Vocalize album thus setting the stage for his re-
emergence as a major recording artist. Moody's 1986 (RCA/NOVUS) debut Something Special ended a 
decade-long major label recording hiatus for the versatile reedman. His follow-up recording, Moving 
Forward showcased his hearty vocals on What Do You Do and his interpretive woodwind wizardry on 
such tunes as Giant Steps and Autumn Leaves. 
In 1990, Moody and Gillespie received a Grammy Award Nomination for their rendition of Gillespie's 
Get the Booty, which showcases scatting at its best. Moody returns the soprano sax to his woodwind 
arsenal on Honey, his nickname for his wife, Linda, and Moody's last recording for (RCA/NOVUS). 
On March 26th, 1995 Moody got the surprise of his life with a birthday party in New York. It was an 
evening of historical significance for Jazz with many guest stars and Bill Cosby as the emcee. It can be 
heard on Telarc's recording, Moody's Party -- James Moody's 70th, Birthday Celebration, Live at the 
Blue Note. In 1995 Moody's (Warner Bros.) release of Young at Heart, was a tribute to songs that are 
associated with Frank Sinatra. With an orchestra and strings many people feel this is among the most 
beautiful of all James Moody recordings. 
Moody's last recording for Warner Bros. is Moody Plays Mancini which showcases Moody on all of his 
horns and flute. A tribute to the American icon Henry Mancini. Moody's 2004 release of Homage on 
the Savoy Label has been a great cause for celebration. His first new studio album in 6 years, the aptly 
named Homage is a tribute to Moody featuring new tunes specially written for him by the likes of Joe 
Zawinul, Chick Corea, Kenny Barron, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, David Hazeltine and Marc 
Copland. Bob Belden produced the project.

Whether Moody is playing the soprano, alto, tenor, or flute, he does so with deep resonance and wit. 
Moody has a healthy respect for tradition, but takes great delight in discovering new musical paths, 
which makes him one of the most consistently expressive and enduring figures in modern jazz today. 
To quote Peter Watrous of the New York Times, "As a musical explorer, performer, collaborator and 
composer he has made an indelible contribution to the rise of American music as the dominant 
musical force of the twentieth century." James Moody played on Keilwerth saxophones exclusively. 
James Moody died on December 9, 2010 at his home in the San Diego area. He was 85 years old. 
Moody had been suffering from pancreatic cancer and had recently chosen to decline treatment by 
radiation or chemotherapy. Having met James Moody late in his life at the Montreux Jazz Festival 
with Quincy Jones one the most endearing things about him was the love that he showed for his lovely 
wife Linda who told me that for more than twenty years wherever they or he was in the world, he 
would send her a bouquet of her favorite white flowers. James Moody (or just Moody to his friends) 
was one of the great treasures of American Culture. He is one of the most unsung influences on all of 
the jazz saxophone world. His music has permeated the universe. 
Known as the musical and spiritual brother to Dizzy's alter ego Moody was the last of the original 
bebop masters, whose bold souls who followed Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and worked with 
them to create a fresh, modern musical dialect within the jazz language. With this said, I again invite 
you to enjoy the music of one of the masters in Jazz Music 
Mr. James Moody
