MICHAEL MOORE QUINTET

Michael Moore-clarinet, alto sax, Eric Vloeimans-trumpet, Marc van Roon-piano, Paul Berner-bass, Owen Hart Jr.-drums

The American/Dutch world class alto saxophonist/clarinettist, renowned for his rich musical fantasy and gorgeous tone formed this group a few years back, that included trumpet player Eric Vloeimans. The recent release of the CD Osiris on his own Ramboy label garnered a host of sublime reviews. ‘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).
