Biography
He played on the album Flying Teapot (1973). He re-joined what had by then become Pierre Moerlen's Gong for the Gazeuse! (1976) album (in the U.S, it was called Expresso). After Pierre Moerlen's departure, Moze stayed in London, joining Peter Lemer's trio, also with Laurie Allan on drums. In the late 1980s, John Greaves (playing keyboards), Pip Pyle (drums) and Moze formed a short-lived band. Moze is of Seminole descent.
The recorded working language is French. Subjects and genres recorded for the work are progressive rock.
