From the Los Angeles Times:
James Moody, a jazz saxophonist and flutist whose improvised solo on a recording of the song “I’m in the Mood for Love” became a jazz classic, died Thursday in San Diego, where he had lived in recent years. He was 85 and had pancreatic cancer.
His death was confirmed by a spokeswoman for the San Diego Hospice.
