The Last Concert - Moondog

[@catherinejeantet8475]

The pianist is Dominique Ponty, excellent pianist and piano teacher and such a beautiful person ! She was my piano teacher at Conservatoire d'Evreux, France, in my late 70s - early 80s years. Always trying to give pieces to play that fit your personnality in addition to the classical masterpieces. She was very open-minded with a delicate "toucher" ! She was the pianist of french composer Olivier Messian too. I miss her !

[@ShaneBordoli]

Thanks so much for sharing this. So good to hear

[@drhintjens4915]

She sounds a bit like Jacques Louissier (who did some great Bach-adaptations to jazz).

[@Timoleon_]

How come there hasn't yet been a movie about the life of this outstanding human being

[@hickinabiskit]

There is supposedly a documentary entitled "The Viking of 6th Avenue" in the works...

Learned about Moondog from Oxford American magazine (summer 2005) and have enjoyed his music ever since.

here in 2021. First time ever listening to Moondog and I am happy I have discovered this beautiful music.

This live album is hot❤❤❤❤

[@melainelebars6789]

I had great fortune to hear him live in my early 20's at Dartington College of Arts (RIP, both were extraordinary experimentalists yet rigourously disciplined). He preformed in the Great Hall, which acoustically supported his music to perfection. What a privilege that was..thank you for sharing. Thank you Moondog

[@MNoirof]

Sounds like a childishly happy american Bach. Beautiful! Thanks!

[@josesanmartin7298]

Hace algunos años empecé a redescubrir la música debo confesar que soy un melomano y por circunstancias de trabajo abandone el escuchar música, como dije, redescubri la música de nuevo desde el pop, jazz, progresivo, música antigua clásica y clásica contemporánea, también el rock, hard rock, blues, música instrumental que va desde Ray Conif hasta Vangelis, New Age y todas las vertientes de la música y en esos años me encuentro un disco en un tianguis que tenia una portada con un señor que parecía un vikingo y decía moondog y desde ese momento cambio para mi la persepcion de escuchar música, en estos momentos estoy investigando su biografía y es muy interesante, gran músico y es una pena que ya no este con nosotros, su música indescriptible para algunos, sublime para mi.

Im currennty listening to Saties complete piano works. And after a few days (and many many hours) i just recognized that Moondogs compositions are in a certain way similar in their reduced and essential artstyle. Moondog however is jazz-ier. (and both, Satie and Moondog, seemed to be quite eccentric and unique)

J'étais à ce concert mémorable. Sans vraiment rien connaître à Moondog à l'époque, 18 ans on n'est pas sérieux. Merci pour ce partage :)

[@spratch]

J'ai 23 ans et je suis passionné de Moondog. J'aurais tellement aimé voir ce concert ! :O Mais comme vous je n'aurais pas eu conscience de l'importance de l'artiste !

Quel grand compositeur ce moondog! Dire qu’il est décédé un mois et quelques jours après cette performance montrant malgré le poids des années qu’il est resté aussi un grand interprète jusqu’à la fin.

[@samthesmart1]

Thank you so much for posting this recording! I feel lucky to have heard it and I wouldn't have experienced without your taking the time to put it up. Thank you Shane!

Idk why no one speaks about moondog.He was fucking amazing.poetic and a brilliant composer and inventer of instruments. And let us not forget he may have the coolest name and all of music

[@ChairPencil]

Thelonious Sphere Monk might have the title of coolest name

There sure should be I have loved since I was eleven I am 74 hopefully before I go away that would be very special he was a street performer in new York when I was a kid in Seattle I got ahold of one of his records he was just facinateing to me but was very ashamed of how cooky he was the other kids were going into professional bulldozer driveing lololooo

[@armandopropati]

Moondog es un genio loco de la música norteamericana al nivel de un Erik Satie en francia.

[@melifever]

yo digo que es de un nivel bien superior a Satie, mucho más complejo, y tan extraño. No hay nadie como él. Pero porque comparar?

[@andressanzbecerra6941]

Siempre lo diré: siempre fue MEJOR compositor que John Cage. Y los que digan que son universos distintos... O conceCtos incomparables de composición... ¿Por qué entonces los puedo comparar?

[@andressanzbecerra6941]

@@melifever porque el sentido de excelencia o las musas de areté lo exigen. Y no por pedantería, sino por topología de criterios cognitivos o hasta espirituales.

Sur quelle plage se fait l'accompagnement de Moondog car je n'entends que le piano...

[@LimJoshua1]

46:12 a reference to "when you wish upon a star" ? 😂

[@geroldfirl]

@Ron Maimon "Rips off" - more like a tip of the cap. Everybody must do St. Louis Blues at some point, but Moondog is about the most original composer ever. He doesn't copy ever either. But he does pay his respects to the greats of the past.

[@geroldfirl]

He plays upon Claire de Lune by Debussy right after that. Beautifully done.

[@geroldfirl]

Sorry - that's Debussy starting at 46:12
