He was born John Curtis Moses in
Andrew Hill and Sam Rivers.[1] He moved to Copenhagen around 1969, where he was house drummer at the Montmartre Club, playing with Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon among others.[1] He played less in the 1970s due to failing health, and returned to Pittsburgh, where he played with Nathan Davis and Eric Kloss.[1]
He never recorded as a leader.
