Don Moore

Donald "Don" Moore ( born 1932 in New York City ) is a jazz bassist.

Moore was a friend of the same age bassist Reggie Workman, who procured him his first bass; in Philadelphia, he played among others with Spanky DeBrest and Jimmy Heath; He worked from the early 1960s with the protagonists of the avant-garde jazz, including Don Cherry, John Tchicai, Archie Shepp and the New York Contemporary Five, with whom he was in Europe on tour in 1963, also with Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Jackie McLean, Grant Green, Clifford Thornton and Elvin Jones. Moore co-founded the artist 's cooperative Collective Black Artists. Although he went on until well into the 1990s, more shots with it are not available, however.

The bass player is not to be confused with the trumpet player who played in the 1930s, inter alia, with Jack Teagarden.
