about

In the Spring of 2022 ‘Something Happened’. American born but long resident of Amsterdam and in-demand reeds player Michael Moore visited the UK to perform six live dates in collaboration with one the most exciting Northern rhythm partnerships available, John Pope on Double Bass and Johnny Hunter on Drums.

With each musician bringing compositions to the table, the band had minimal rehearsal and in perhaps the purest jazz fashion spent the week working out their compositions on the bandstand in front of live audiences. The seventh date of that tour resulted in this recording session especially commissioned by the label for the regular NEWJAiM Recordings haunt Blank Studios in Newcastle upon Tyne.

This an absolutely superb set of recordings, melodic, free, pure and swinging, joy is in abundance throughout the record. We’re absolutely delighted to present this music as the sixteenth release for New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings.
