James Moody gained early fame as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's big band, with his legendary improvised solo on "I'm In The Mood For Love" which became the foundation for the classic vocalese hit "Moody's Mood For Love." A pivotal figure in the bebop era, Moody's six-decade career showcased his mastery on jazz flute, alto and tenor saxophones, composer and arranger credits, and collaborations with icons such Quincy Jones, John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock. "Running The Gamut" was originally released in 1965, featuring Moody in quintet format alongside Thad Jones (tr.), Patti Bown (p), Reggie Workman (b) and Albert Heath (d)

This first ever reissue comes pressed on heavyweight colour vinyl, just in time for the record's 60th anniversary.
