Abstract Drummer Famoudou Don Moye was born on May 23, 1946 in Rochester, New York. In high school, he began playing drums, congas and bongos and went on to study percussion at Wayne State University. In 1968, Moye toured Europe with the Detroit Free Jazz Band. While abroad, Moye had the opportunity to work with key players in the Free Jazz Movement. Moye joined the innovative, avant-garde quintet, the "Art Ensemble of Chicago" (AEC), in 1969 and was a permanent member thereafter. Moye and the other members of AEC drew their influence from both Africa and the Caribbean, rural as well as urban spaces. Moye led the Sun Percussion Summit, was a member of "The Leaders" since 1984 and recorded with numerous other groups. Moye's recordings won him praise of critics at Rolling Stone and Melody Maker magazines as well as The New York Times.
