Moon was for many years the pop critic at the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he displayed the kind of broad-mindedness folks often credit Greg Kot with. (He currently contributes to NPR’s All Things Considered.) But Moon did more than pay lip service to jazz, international, and classical music. This book lists his choices by artists in alphabetical order, regardless of genre, so you go from reading about an album by South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim to reading about Raw Power by Iggy & the Stooges, from Memphis Minnie to Yehudi Menuhin.
Moon will discuss, sign, and sell copies of the book at a luncheon Monday at noon at the University Club of Chicago (76 E. Monroe). If you’re interested in attending you must make reservations through the Book Stall at Chestnut Court in Winnetka (847-446-8880); $25 includes the lunch but not the book, which will be for sale at the event.
