This year I was so lucky to be able to celebrate my birthday in a special way. A concert was scheduled at the Berliner Festspiele, a Jazz Festival in Berlin on November 2. A great opportunity to combine sightseeing with a memorable performance - and a nice Italian diner afterwards.
The Michael Moore Quintet has released its first album Osiris in 2006 on the Independent Ramboy Label. Some reviews:
"...On his quintet recording Osiris, Moore unabashedly embraces melody and mood as well with a set of ten of his own compositions that are almost surprising in their straight ahead delivery and deceptively ornamented scoring. Lovely playing is to be found especially from pianist Marc van Roon and bassist Paul Berner." read full article (All About Jazz)
"...the ensemble does manage to excite throughout, particularly on the restlessness displayed on “Playboy”, which displays Hart’s keen depth—both when setting the fluid time or lively rumbling. Hart also lays down powerful rhythms on the urgent flow of “Tallwind To Kyele”, a workout for Moore’s bass clarinet and Vloeimans, as well as the tricky “Movement Specialists” and the record’s most varied piece, “Culture Warriors”." read full article (One Final Note)
