Moondog – Moondog

He was born Louis Hardin, but the world knew him as Moondog and his avant-garde compositions influenced a generation of minimalist composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Now, The Viking of 6th Avenue's seminal 1969 album, recorded with producer James William Guercio, is being reissued on vinyl, its first pressing in over a decade. Featuring original symphonic and classically-inspired works (including material dedicated to Charlie Parker and Benny Goodman), Moondog is an album that must be heard to be believed.
