Jazz improvisation in which he "plays the trimbas and oo in snake time"--Cover.
"Moondog is unique. He's one of New York's most interesting and unusually talented musical personalities. Born Louis Hardin in Kansas, in 1916, he became blind at the age of 16. The son of missionaries, his early life was spent in Indian country. This primitive background has undoubtedly influenced and enhanced his interpretations and compositions. Moondog made this recording with several unusual instruments such as the "oo" and the "trimbas" invented by himself. The amazing melody and rhythm he attains in these unique compositions is a tribute to his extraordinary musical ability."--Container.
