MOONBAG

NTSU - 1960

MOONBAG

Morgan Powell

If anyone uses the word ‘moonbag’ to refer to really avant garde, experimental and even outside arrangements, well here is where it came from. The beginning of the jazz education dynasty at North Texas began here, and trombone player arranger Morgan Powell was in at the beginning.  He put this tune in the book while a student at North Texas.
