"This track was also taken from an old reel tape recorded in the 1970's. As I recall, this piece was a bit of a miracle. It seemed to arise spontaneously from the four of us messing around together, and we could never quite reproduce what happened, especially in the short bridge section, where the guitar and piano hit some nice intersecting harmonies, purely by chance. I think we were probably all relieved to be playing in 4/4 time, for a change."
The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL
It's not only great jazz you get from MoonJune, of course. The stable is rich with talent from the forefront of progressive music.
This sampler gives two and a half hours of those riches to tempt you into investigating talent you may not have been aware of before.
Listen. Enjoy. Peter Jones
