==Biography==
Born in New York City (his father's father was from the Bahamas)〔Sean Singer & Grachan Moncur III, ("The Soul of Trombone — Grachan Moncur III" ), ''Cerise Press'', Vol. 4, Issue 10, Summer 2012.〕 and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Grachan Moncur III began playing the cello at the age of nine, and switched to the trombone when he was 11.〔 In high school he attended the Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina, the private school where Dizzy Gillespie had studied. While still at school he began sitting in with touring jazz musicians on their way through town, including Art Blakey and Jackie McLean, with whom he formed a lasting friendship.
After high school Moncur toured with Ray Charles (1959–62), Art Farmer and Benny Golson's Jazztet (1962), and Sonny Rollins. He took part in two classic Jackie McLean albums in the early 1960s, ''One Step Beyond'' and ''Destination... Out!'', to which he also contributed the bulk of compositions and which led to two influential albums of his own for Blue Note Records, ''Evolution'' (1963) with Jackie McLean and Lee Morgan, and ''Some Other Stuff'' (1964) with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
Moncur joined Archie Shepp's ensemble and recorded with other avant-garde players such as Marion Brown, Beaver Harris and Roswell Rudd (the other big name in free jazz trombone). During a stay in Paris in the summer of 1969, he recorded two albums as a leader for the famous BYG Actuel label, ''New Africa'' and ''Aco Dei de Madrugada'', as well as appearing as a sideman on numerous other releases of the label. In 1974, the Jazz Composer's Orchestra commissioned him to write ''Echoes of Prayer'' (1974), a jazz symphony featuring a full orchestra plus vocalists and jazz soloists. His sixth album as a leader, ''Shadows'' (1977) was released only in Japan. Unfortunately, he was subsequently plagued by health problems and copyright disputes and recorded only rarely. Through the 1980s he recorded with Cassandra Wilson (1985), played occasionally with the Paris Reunion Band and Frank Lowe, appeared on John Patton's ''Soul Connection'' (1983), but mostly concentrated on teaching. In 2004 he re-emerged with a new album (''Exploration'') on Capri Records featuring Grachan's compositions arranged by Mark Masters for an octet including Tim Hagans and Gary Bartz.
