Grachun Moncur III is an artist I can only vaguely remember; he could only be found in "aficionados" collections that were so deep into the music, that they functioned as libraries, no, not mine; although I have heard of him.
He is an American trombonist that was born in New York. When he was 11 he attended a private school where Dizzy Gillespie had studied. While still at school he began sitting in with touring jazz musicians on their way through town, including Art Blakey and Jackie McLean, with whom he formed a lasting friendship.

Sometime when I can't find anything that appeals to me with a musician as leader, I do a whole lot better looking him up as a sideman.

As well as I like Pepper Adams baritone sax, I don't have anything with him as leader that I like; it might be the same way with Grachun Moncur, that's why if you like this tune, you can help me look.
Enjoy the music.
