Live at Moers Festival is a live album by drummer Sunny Murray. It was recorded in June 1979 at the Moers Festival in Moers, Germany, and was released later that year by Moers Music. On the album, Murray is joined by saxophonist and bass clarinetist David Murray, and bassist Malachi Favors, and percussionist Cheikh Tidiane Fall.[1] [2]
The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars.
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3½ stars, and wrote: "The leader's playing... remains utterly distinctive, using a simple kit to create waves of rhythm and colour, dispersing marked time and controlling without dominating all the different areas of the music. David Murray is at something near his early, blistering best and, while the music is more a jam session than a charted course, the four themes provide enough material for the group to roister along. The in-concert sound is no more than acceptable, but the excitement survives any fidelity problems."
