Ranging from Miles Davis to the Beatles to Django Reinhardt, this global mixture celebrates musical diversity and freedom.
"Upon receiving James Moody’s Beyond the Borders I was pleasantly
surprised to see the different directions this guitarist was taking, from a
re-working of Wes Montgomery’s Road Song through a sweet rendition of Samba Pa
Ti, James is comfortably in command. A pleasure to listen to all the way
through!!!"
Sal Maffettone, KMMT-Jazz
"James Moody does wonders with the acoustic guitar. Whether it's
straight-ahead, contemporary, Latin. Beyond the Borders has it all."
Russ Borris, Music Director WBJB-FM
Beyond the Borders was #1 for three weeks straight and in the WBJB Jazz Top-Ten for more than two months.

Once again, James Moody has put together an album that renders the joys of creativity, imagination, and spirit. This compilation of original tunes integrates an eclectic mix of rhythms and sounds – cool Blues, smooth Jazz, sizzling Latin, electric and acoustic – that breaks through the confines of the conventional and sends one’s musical spirit to flight. There are no dull moments in “Kite Hill”, and just as the title suggests, this album is as spontaneous and surprising as the wind.
