MICHAEL MOORE QUINTET

Michael Moore-klarinet, altsax, Eric Vloeimans-trompet, Marc van Roon-piano, Paul Berner-bas, Owen Hart Jr.-drums

De Amerikaans/Nederlandse altsaxofonist/klarinettist van wereldklasse, bekend om zijn rijke muzikale fantasie en prachtige toon, bracht enkele jaren geleden deze groep bijeen, met o.a. trompettist Eric Vloeimans. De op zijn label Ramboy verschenen CD Osiris ontving sublieme kritieken. ‘There is just too much great music here to mention, each piece has layered of intricate parts that are so well crafted, yet there is immense charm, nothing forced, no showing off. A few of these pieces are so subtle, it is hard to believe that Mr. Moore can do so much with so few notes.’ (Downtown Music Gallery). ‘Osiris might be his most enchanting record yet-full of rich tapestries, strong ensemble playing, and compelling solos from Moore and the others, it is truly a delight.’ (One Final Note).
