Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"When Marcio Doctor, percussionist with the NDR Big Band in Hamburg, Germany, called me to ask if I would be interested in a collaboration, a whole world of possibilities opened before me - I could not believe my luck! A week rehearsing, recording and performing with a big band of expert musicians/instrumentalists/improvisors - this could not happen anywhere else! Rather than making a whole new repertoire I decided to revisit some older pieces. The two arrangements of Henk Meutgeert have been previously played by the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw. All the others, of Christian Elssäser, Frank Carlberg and myself were specially commissioned by the NDR for this project.

1. Sweet-Briar/Southwesterly - a medley of two recent pieces written for my 'Fragile' Quartet

2. Igor - a tribute to Stravinsky originally on 'Tunes for Horn Guys', (Ramboy #08). The collective improvisations were exciting.

3. Anomalous Soul - a piece Fred Hersch, Mark Helias and I first played on 'Chicoutimi' (Ramboy #06).

4. Brunheiras - recorded a few times before (Ramboy #04, #23). Christian Elsässer's arrangement is very beautiful - I wish I could write such a lovely chord as the one at the end of the first phrase!

5. Odin - another trio piece from 'Bering' (Ramboy #11); We did with this one with my 'Bigtet' a few years ago. Fiete plays fantastic!

6. Fogo von Slack - a trio for clarinets (Ramboy #08).

7. Shotgun Wedding - An Ellingtonian mood piece originally written for Available Jelly (Ramboy #07). Henk Meutgeert's arrangement brings out the best.

8. Providence - 1977 on the train from Boston to New York City under the heavy influence of Dewey Redman (Ramboy's #1, 2 & 26). Frank Carlberg laid down his quirky magic on this one, and Claus Stötter & Klaus Heidenreich made it sound as if we could hear each other!

9. Trouble House - 'Dylanesque', big thanks to Sebastian Stein and Sandra Hempel for their wonderful playing on this one. (Ramboy #24)

10. Sanctuary - from the first recording of the 'Fragile Quartet' (Ramboy #25), for my mother, Tam Moore, who speaks only truth and kindness when faced with falsehood and hate."

- Michael Moore

Artist Biographies

"Pianist Florian Weber launched his career in the mid-2000s and was swiftly regarded as one of Germany's finest jazz musicians, recording for Enja, Challenge, and ECM, and performing with the likes of Lee Konitz, Tomasz Stańko, and Pat Metheny.

Born in 1977 in Detmold, near Hanover, Weber grew up in a musical family; his father was a music professor and his mother an opera singer. He began learning the piano at the age of four and had played in both classical and jazz ensembles by the time he left high school. He won a scholarship to Berklee (which he at first declined) and later studied with John Taylor, Paul Bley, and Richie Beirach. His first recorded appearance was on Angelika Niescier's album Sublim 3. In 2002 he formed the trio Minsarah (Hebrew for "prism") with bassist Jeff Denson and drummer Ziv Ravitz. Their eponymous 2006 debut album won the prestigious German Record Critics' Prize. In 2008 they recorded an album with Lee Konitz, Deeplee, and later became his New Quartet, performing with him at the Village Vanguard. After recording with Eric Vloeimans and in Denson's quartet with trumpeter Ralph Alessi, Weber founded the group Biosphere in 2011 with guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Thomas Morgan, and drummer Dan Weiss; they recorded an eponymous album for Enja that incorporated African rhythms. Weber made his ECM debut in 2016 on the duo album Alba with trumpeter Markus Stockhausen. His debut as a leader for the label, 2018's Lucent Waters, featured bassist Linda May Han Oh, Alessi, and the trumpeter's frequent collaborator Nasheet Waits. In addition to his jazz work, Weber kept his hand in classical performance, performing concertos by Mozart, Ravel, and Gershwin with various philharmonic orchestras. He also became an educator, taking up teaching positions at CalArts, the U.K.'s Royal Northern College of Music, the University of Osnabrück, and Chicago's DePaul University."
