Mallet Percussionist Don Moores began his career as a drummer in the Boston area In 1961 he moved to New York as a vibraphonist and came under the influence of Randy Weston the renowned pianist and composer This tenure with Weston completely altered his musical direction from JacksonTjader type stylist to an angular percussion oriented player with an emphasis on rhythmically thick African West Indian and Brazilian material
In the mid 60s he returned to Boston to complete his education at the Berklee College of Music During this period the first Jazz quintet was formed with saxophonist Charles Owens This group and its later incarnation with Junior Cook replacing Owens toured extensively in the Northeast and Canada Don moved to California in 1970 settling in the Bay Area For more information about Don Moors visit DonMoorscom
