FOUR EXTRAORDINARY ALBUMS RECORDED AT THE MAGIC SETTINGS

OF LA CASA MURADA

La Casa Murada is a magical place, an 11th century farmhouse located just an hour west of Barcelona, converted into a temple of music, a recording studio owned by the renowned Catalan bassist, composer and sound engineer Jesus Rovira. A homely and pleasant atmosphere with a genuine rustic style that reaches sublime perfection, enriched by the Catalan countryside landscape between olive trees and vineyards, an unrivaled atmosphere. Leonardo Pavkovic, MoonJune Records‘s honcho is organizing gathering of world-class musicians in this unique place since 2006, recording and producing more than 20 magnificent albums. And these 4 albums are the latest offering from La Casa Murada. And following the typical label’s philosophy, MoonJune brings together musicians from different parts of the world, and different ethnic heritage, sometimes musicians who have never played together, and they record great music, and magic simply and organically happens. Occasionally, MoonJune and the lead musicians chose to have special guests perform on some of the tunes, or on the whole album, which was the case with two bass giants and legends, Tony Levin and Percy Jones. MoonJune Records produces albums that make musicians and music gourmands happy, regardless what is the current trend in the troubled world of the music business and regardless of difficulties toi promote and sell the music in this challenging world.

BELEDO, Flotando en el Vacío

Liner Notes by JP Beledo

It was really a wonderful surprise when Leonardo told me that he wanted me to record an album with Carles Benavent and Jorge Pardo. Leonardo always comes up with ideas that make my head spin for a good reason. It was almost too good to be true.

After pinching myself to make sure I was not dreaming I had to navigate through the idea and figure out what kind of material I would bring to the table. Carles and Jorge participated on Paco de Lucia’s “Solo Quiero Caminar” which is one of the best albums ever made and Carles and Paco duo “Monasterio de sal” is not only an extremely difficult song but it is one of the most impressive compositions ever written. That said, I knew that my album had to be completely different than that but my extreme desire for excellency would find a common ground where these exceptional musicians would feel comfortable using their amazing skills over my compositions. On top of that, we were going to have the incredible amazing Asaf Sirkis on drums who can jazz and rock hard but has an incredible vast knowledge of diverse ethnic music from around the world. We could not go wrong.

With all of that in mind I started writing and “Candombesque” came out on the piano, loyal to my Uruguayan roots, and “From Within” on the guitar that has a definite hint of flamenco in the chord changes. Little that I knew that Jorge Pardo would play so masterfully over it and I would have the time of my life exchanging solos with him in the studio, oh my God.

This album also created the right opportunity to integrate my contemporary tango composition “Rauleando” dedicated to the master of Uruguayan tango, Raúl Jaurena. I was fortunate to have played it with him in the context of a tango ensemble before he passed away. A lovely soul and a superb musician.

I also decided to use the composition “Flotando en el vacío” that was part of the repertoire of my beloved Uruguayan band Siddhartha (1977-1982). Because I was a student of the Conservatorio Universitario I got to attend a composition workshop with Héctor Tosar, composer, pianist, conductor, educator and one of the biggest icons in the history of the music in Uruguay. I presented to him the piano score of “Flotando en el vacío” and he played it like he already knew it, with the left hand riffs and the quartal harmonies on the right hand, wow. He pointed out that the main descending progression was definitely resembling flamenco music, which made me immediately realize that though my intention was writing Jazz-Rock, my young impulses were bringing out the kind of music that was coming from my veins and my ancestry. That is why I decided to include this tune in this project.

Leonardo and I had a few months to brainstorm and being able to develop all the ideas so that we could have the results we wanted. Leonardo asked me to come up with “Djelem Djelem”, a real anthem of the Romanian Gypsies. There are different versions of it and the original is a really slow and heart wrenching ballad with its incredible content. I wanted to have that heartfelt melody but I found my own way with the harmony and through the rhythm of bulerías. Carles was extremely helpful giving it the ultimate shape in the studio. When you get to work with musicians of this caliber you are safe because they are giving you more than 100% and their 100% is really big. This is the only tune that I recorded with a flamenco guitar and I just used it to play behind everybody.

Those were all the pre-written compositions, but we already anticipated that we were going to have improvisational sessions where we would have the great Gary Husband on piano and keyboards. From those sessions we brought “De tardecita”, “Es prohibeix blasfemar”, and “Rodeados”.

We were all at La Casamurada, a magical little castle made into a wonderful studio owned by the masterful engineer Jesus Rovira in Banyeres del Penedès, Tarragona, Spain. Gary was there recording a duo with Markus Reuter, also for Moonjune of course, and we had an unforgettable few days all together with Leonardo, Asaf, Carles, and Jorge from breakfast, dinner, and late night hangs by the pool. I’ll never forget the first night when Carles and Jorge arrived and we were chatting. Carles was telling me all about recording “Monasterio de sal” with Paco and Jorge was mentioning many incredible anecdotes. I could not control my deep emotions of being there with them. My eyes were crying with joy. Also it was sweet to get to spend time with Gary Husband who recorded on one of my previous albums “Dreamland Mechanism”. He was also touring with Allan Holdsworth and also with Soft Machine at times that I was opening for them with my band. Also it was so lovely to be on the road with Asaf Sirkis an exquisite human being now a member of Soft Machine that I was fortunate enough to go on tour as a member. All thanks to Leonardo of course.

Going back to this album that I am so proud of, I recorded the basic tracks of “Flotando en el vacío”, “Rauleando” and “Candombesque” on the acoustic piano at the session and then I overdubbed my electric guitar, but “From Within” and the rest of the tunes are played completely spontaneously at the session.

For sure I am leaving many things not addressed about the music and all of the incredible experiences around the making of this album. I hope you can sit down and enjoy it as much as we did making it.

QUARTET DIMINISHED, Deerand

Quartet Diminished was established in Iran in 2013 by guitarist Ehsan Sadigh. This is their fourth album, following Station Three (Hermes Records, 2021). Their music is stylistically diverse, drawing freely from contemporary jazz, art rock, and avant-garde music. The membership has been relatively stable. Sadigh (electric guitar) has had bandmates Soheil Peyghambar (woodwinds), Mazyar Younessi (piano, voice), and Rouzbeh Fadavi (drums) on most of the group’s albums.

The instrumentation suggests many possibilities, including chamber jazz, Rock In Opposition-style art rock, and free improvisation, and the compositions have often been credited to Sadigh. But here the music is credited to the entire band, just as it was on the previous album. The practice of adding players from outside the quartet to the sessions was also repeated: the personnel includes bass guitarist/Chapman stick bassist Tony Levin, and touch guitarist Markus Reuter–who are also given co-composer credits. It makes for a bigger sound–the quartet is effectively a sextet most of the time–and clearly, the situation was an inspiration for all of the players. Previous albums have all been given Station numbers, but here the title Deerand comes from a Persian musical term that means the duration of an instrumentʼs tones.

The title tune is an extended four-part suite that showcases all of the aspects of the group’s music. Beginning with a rhapsodic solo piano joined by long lines from guitar and bass clarinet, it moves into a dark theme before taking off into fast repeated rhythms. The full band joins in, and a ripping guitar solo erupts, including some Persian flavor. Part III includes more driving rhythms and features the soprano saxophone, and the suite concludes with a gentle coda. “Tehran II” (the first “Tehran” appeared on Station One) goes into more abstract territory and stays rubato all the way through. “Mirrorside” serves as a kind of ballad. “Allegro Per il Re” closes out the album with more minimalist repetition, but with continuously varied instrumentation, as well as Persian-inflected melodies—an exciting end to an album that is a fine addition to the band’s already impressive discography.

EHSAN SADIGH – guitar

LUCA CALABRESE, I Shin Den Shin

I-shin-den-shin is a Japanese concept that describes a form of communication that transcends spoken words, relying on unspoken understanding, empathy, and shared feelings. The term is often translated as « what the mind thinks, the heart transmits » or « a heart-to-heart transmission. » It encapsulates the idea that emotions and thoughts can be conveyed and understood without the need for explicit verbal communication.

The concept has its roots in Eastern philosophy, particularly in Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, where the importance of nonverbal communication, intuition, and a deep connection between individuals is emphasized. It’s about the ability to convey meaning and understanding through subtle gestures, expressions, and shared experiences.

In a more contemporary context, i-shin-den-shin has also been used to describe certain interpersonal and artistic experiences, such as in music and other forms of art, where a strong emotional resonance is achieved between the creator and the audience, even without direct verbal explanation.

The term can be applied in various contexts, from personal relationships to artistic expression, emphasizing the power of genuine connection and understanding that goes beyond words.

MoonJune Festival 2024 Fundraiser

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO FIND DONATION OPTIONS.

PLEASE DONATE

Dear Friends in Music

Following two musically and visually resplendent celebrations in Jajce, Bosnia, in 2022 and Toledo, Spain, in 2023, the Johnny Appleseed of adventurous music – Leonardo Pavkovic, will present the Third International MoonJune Music Festival in the beautiful village of Guadamur, Spain, in September 2024.

Because this year’s festival is wholly self-financed, MoonJune is in need of donor contributions to bring this unique cultural event across the finish line. Both previous festivals were produced with a very little or no public funding, instead relying solely on MoonJune Music’s personal investment, small indy sponsors, donations from fans around the world, and merchandise and ticket sales.

While both gatherings were a rousing artistic success, revenue from ticket sales and other sources fell short of meeting the many expenses involved in staging such a complex production. Since many municipalities today are withdrawing support for cultural events of this kind, we humbly ask MoonJune supporters to consider making a donation of any size toward making this year’s event a reality. Donations will be used toward artist fees, airfare, accommodations, equipment rental, and audiovisual production.

« MoonJunistas » understand that taking the path less followed often requires a measure of self-reliance, and that small contributions from those who love the arts can make all the difference in bringing beauty into the world. We sincerely hope you’ll join us in our mission to expand musical boundaries by supporting this significant cultural event; doing so not only makes possible a larger and richer festival, but also helps in developing other cultural manifestations in this unique historical region of Spain.

Special thanks to Mauricio De Aguinaco of M Films and Pavkovic & De Aguinaco Producciones SL and Sagrario Gutierrez, mayor of Guadamur.

Ultra huge special thanks for all those who generously supported the festival with their generous donations.

This is Tony Levin’s 7th solo album, his first since 2007, is an autobiography of sorts, with the themes drawn from Levin’s musical life. It features a myriad of collaborators from his half-century-plus on the road and in the studio with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson and many, many others.

Over the past half century, Tony has been a prolific session player and one of the most active live performers on the planet. He’s contributed his talents to over five hundred albums amongst which include 15 with Peter Gabriel, 18 with King Crimson (counting live, studio, and compilations) alongside contributions to the work of John Lennon, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, James Taylor, Herbie Mann, Paul Simon, Chuck Mangione, Pink Floyd, and many others. On tour, he’s traveled the World many times over with the aforementioned King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, and several of his own bands including Stick Men, Levin Brothers, Tony Levin Group.

This Fall, he’ll stage 65 performances in North America as a member of BEAT, celebrating King Crimson’s ‘80s music (‘Discipline‘, ‘Beat‘, ‘Three of a Perfect Pair‘ albums) with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Danny Carey.

Following two musically and visually resplendent celebrations in Jajce, Bosnia, in 2022 and Toledo, Spain, in 2023, the Johnny Appleseed of adventurous music, Leonardo Pavkovic, will present the Third International MoonJune Music Festival in the beautiful village of Guadamur, Spain, in September 2024.

Located just 12km outside Toledo in historic Castilla-La Mancha region, the event will once again feature a globe-spanning cast of extraordinary MoonJune musicians, special guests and attendees.

Because this year’s festival is wholly self-financed, MoonJune is in need of donor contributions to bring this unique cultural event across the finish line.

Both previous festivals were produced with a very little or no public funding, instead relying solely on MoonJune Music‘s personal investment, small indy sponsors, donations from fans around the world, and merchandise and ticket sales.

Donations will be used toward

• artist fees

• artist airfares

• artist accommodations

• artist equipment rental

• artist audiovisual production.

« MoonJunistas » understand that taking the path less followed often requires a measure of self-reliance, and that small contributions from those who love the arts can make all the difference in bringing beauty into the world. We sincerely hope you’ll join us in our mission to expand musical boundaries by supporting this significant cultural event; doing so not only makes possible a larger and richer festival, but also helps in developing other cultural manifestations in this unique historical region of Spain.

Respectfully and gratefully yours, Leonardo Pavkovic

Anchor and Burden is an uncompromising progressive avantgarde doom-jazz post-metal band based in Berlin, Germany, which has their own style of collective instant composition that defies the norms of creation. They create monolithic doom behemoths only to tear them into shreds with boundless energy in the next moment.

The two 8-string touch guitarists Markus Reuter and Alexander Dowerk conjure a wide array of moods with their unique instruments: From ethereal whispers out of sci-fi realms ot cerebral virtuosity that fractures the very psyche unto crushing metal brutality that leaves the listener gasping for their breath.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich weaves a web of synths and self-modulating percussive machinery, an arcane undercurrent beneath the towering monoliths of guitar, as fi sentient space stations traverse the void.
Drummer Asaf Sirkis, the virtuoso master of rhythm, wields his jazz and Indian polyrhythms not merely to forge a pulsating heartbeat, but also to break up and shift the quartet’s music into unexpected places with his complex hyper jazz rhythms.

Markus Reuter: Touch Guitars AU8 and S8, Soundscapes
Alexander Paul Dowerk: Touch Guitars S8
Bernhard Wöstheinrich: Keyboards and Electronics
Asaf Sirkis: Drums and Percussion

All music written and performed by Anchor and Burden

In an exciting time for global music, MoonJune Music announces the release of “Paqueando”, the first official release from new label Toque Records. This album, a collaboration between pianist and singer Diego Amador and flamenco guitarist José María Bandera, is scheduled for release on May 17, 2024, on all digital platforms worldwide, and soon available on CD and 2LP.

Paco de Lucía is not only the central figure of flamenco: his influence extends across multiple genres and has left an indelible mark on world music. In 2024, 10 years after the Maestro’s untimely passing, honoring him not only recognizes his lasting contributions, but also introduces his genius to a new audience, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire musicians and fans across the world.

This tribute recalls his art and ability to blend styles, creating a unique musical language, which not only honors Paco De Lucía‘s incomparable technique but also captures the spirit of innovation that characterized him, mixing tradition and modernity, transcending genres – musical and generational.

Diego Amador – multi-instrumentalist, nominated for the Latin Grammy in 2008 in the category Best Flamenco Album (for the album Río de los Canasteros), nicknamed by the national and international press as El Ray Charles Gitano and Mozart Gitano – is a real game changer, an innovator who significantly changed the attitude towards the piano not only in flamenco, but also in the way of playing the instrument in general. His passionate and powerful voice is another great element of this tribute. His approach to the instrument, to the voice and to flamenco is what excited José María Bandera, seeing in Diego (an accomplished guitarist), a pianist who plays the instrument as if it were the flamenco guitar. José María Bandera – Andalusian like his uncle Paco De Lucia, who combines his evident family heritage with the talent of a virtuoso flamenco guitarist and master of harmonies and melodies – was convinced that with Paquenado he could finally pay a great homage to the Maestro’s work in a more innovative and not derivative way .

José María Bandera is the most direct link to Paco De Lucía, having learned the art of playing flamenco guitar from both his grandfather, Paco’s father, and the Maestro himself, and recording and performing with his famous uncle for 13 years on Viajo around the world. , living and experiencing his life and art up close and personal with him, like no one else could. At a certain point in his life he decided not to play his uncle’s music anymore, because it would only be a repetition or imitation of what the Maestro did, but when Diego called him proposing the duet Paqueando, he accepted with an open mind and with great enthusiasm. He knew Diego since he was a child prodigy, he knew his talent and knew that Diego would interpret and reinterpret Paco’s flamenco like no other, with his innovative way of playing the piano, bringing a new light and dimension to Paco’s music

All Diego Amador and Diego Amador Jr. parts were recorded by Diego Amador at ‘Casa DA Studio’, Chucena, Spain.
All José María Bandera guitars were recorded by José María Bandera at ‘Casa Bandera’, Boadilla del Monte, Spain.

The Complete Diary Of A Plastic Box

by GARY HUSBAND

DIGITAL ALBUM USD$10

In the word of Gary Husband

My debut album “Diary Of A Plastic Box”, later released in 2008 as this expanded double CD “The Complete Diary Of A Plastic Box”.

It’s made up (in a kind of travelogue form) of spontaneous little musical creations and expressions layered up almost entirely on my newly acquired Korg M1 workstation of the time. Recorded in solitude either in hotel rooms, dressing rooms – even in band buses – while on the road working for others. It was a cathartic release for my own musical impulses to form and blossom, and I was involved with the creation of these little snapshots almost daily – documenting impressions and experiences as I went along.

Well documented here is a period I was really starting to form improvisationally on keyboards. I had found (via the extremely flexible pitch bend on the Korg M1) a way to assimilate “double stopping” – a technique most notably certain saxophone players have employed, giving the effect of a note played and immediately repeated afterwards but with a slightly different sonic. For me it was achieved by bending notes with the pitch bend stick, and (because it was so loose) I could reach this desired affect with no glide. Just like saxophone. I’ve not found a keyboard controller where I can achieve that in the same way since.

My dear brother Allan Holdsworth had a real affection for this record especially, which initially surprised me. It occurred to me later that he had perhaps enjoyed and related essentially to the “in solitude” aspect inherent to it, and that he had felt to perhaps explore a project an little akin to it himself one day. (His later, lovely “Flat Tire” release might have reflected something of that notion. Who knows.)

Out of the many reviews back I especially enjoyed this quote from Jo-Ann Greene of Allmusic.com.

“The album is a highly personal pastiche of short instrumental pieces, each distinctive and a world unto itself. A number of the musical themes presented within are revisited on the second disc, which is “a continuation of the journey,” as Husband explains in the sleeve notes. Taken together, the set is highly evocative, an exploration of mood-inducing music that feels cohesive, even though it’s quite diverse. Chuffing trains steam through Toytown, England’s rich green pastures are recalled, mice scamper gaily across keyboards, exhilarating jazz legends are revisited (as are the pomp-rock glories of yesteryear), and Christmas comes to a mall near you. Creating mostly in an avant-garde jazz mode, Husband folds into the arrangements a plethora of other styles, from jazz fusion to ambient chill. A number of pieces are lead synth-driven, while rhythms in unusual time signatures play an important role in others. All told, Diary is an intriguing set, one that jazz fans in particular will find fascinating.”

Thanks, Yours trulu, Gary Husband

Notes by SID SMITH

The brand new studio album of Mark Wingfield’s album for MoonJune Records finds this most distinctive American born English guitarist in the company of Gary Husband (keyboards and drums), Asaf Sirkis (drums) with world-renowned bass players, Tony Levin and Percy Jones. Initially recording with Husband and Sirkis as a trio in 2021 in Spain, Wingfield and MoonJune’s Leonard Pavkovic later recruited Jones and Levin to add their highly individual signature contributions during 2023.

The result is a seamless blend of compositions and collective improvisation that roves way beyond the usual generic categorisations making the album hard to pin down as either jazz or rock. Perhaps that’s as it should be for a sound that hovers somewhere between these and other more diverse stylistic influences.

From whatever direction it comes, as the music moves through the players, their gift is the ability to make it fly. That degree of connection with each other shouldn’t be too surprising. Sirkis has worked with Wingfield in other settings such as 2015’s Proof Of Life, 2016’s The Stone House, Lighthouse in 2017, and Tales From a Dreaming City (2018). Wingfield and Husband collaborated on 2019’s thoughtful piano and guitar duet, Tor & Vale.

Asif Sirkis, whose credits include working with Tim Garland, John Abercrombie, Gilad Atzmon, and most recently, full-time drummer with Soft Machine, and Gary Husband, best known for his long-time collaborations with Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, and Billy Cobham, provide empathetic support that acts both as a tightrope and when required a safety net.

As Wingfield navigates his way through the different spaces within The Gathering, he draws unusual textures and serpentine melodic lines from his instrument. Shrewdly mercurial, he shifts between moods of slow, diaphanous beauty to fiercely unrestrained bursts of barbed activity within the blink of an eye. While the trio’s obvious bond is of course an integral part of the album’s magnetic appeal, the presence of two of the top bassists on the scene today only deepens the attraction. Tony Levin, best known for his work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, contributes to six tracks, while veteran fretless innovator, Percy Jones, rightly hailed for his stellar work in Brand X, enlivens four of the pieces.

There’s a sense of joy and discovery as the trio augmented by their respective guest bassists move decisively through the hinterland between written and composed music and looser, more intuitive environments. Themes and tunes are open-ended and ambiguous in places, enabling his fellow players to do their own exploring and then report back their findings. Mixing spacey drifts, inquisitive sojourns, and harder-edged excursions, these are fearless and unreserved exchanges whose roving angularities are as arresting as they are intense.

The innate curiosity that appears to be wired into Wingfield’s gently unfurling compositions possesses an air of mystery about them. Simmering with the same kind of heartfelt, deeply lyrical soloing one hears in Terje Rypdal and Pat Metheny’s work, Wingfield brings his own magical unpredictability to punchy, racing grooves that dovetail with his luminescent atmospherics. Across the album, Wingfield’s soloing embarks upon a It’s a musical journey that sees him continually seeking out the next moment of dazzling, spontaneous beauty.

By turns ecstatic, dramatic, bold, and emotional, The Gathering is an unwaveringly brilliant piece of work that will add another remarkable chapter to his ongoing story.

https://moonjunetoledo.bandcamp.com/merch/fuente-de-la-abundancia-listening-party

FUENTE DE LA ABUNDANCIA (Fountain of Plenitude) is the very successful name for this compilation album, which brings together twelve pieces by the twelve main artists of the MoonJune Festival Toledo 2023 to be held between September 28 and October 1 of this year, in the beautiful historic town, once upon a time the capital of Visigoth Kingdom, then Castilla becoming the first capital of the modern Spain in 1492. It’s a limited edition compact disk, it will not be available for general distribution, and can only be purchased on MoonJune Records website in CD and Download format, and of course at the festival itself.

Among twelve choose tunes, only three come from recordings previously released by MoonJune Records: Soft Machine – ‘Penny Hitch’ from the latest album Other Doors), Dwiki Dharmawan – ‘Paris Barantai’ (from 2018 album Rumah Batu) and Dennis Rea – Kan Hai De Re Zi (from 2010 album Views from Chicheng Precipice).

Two brand new tunes are offered as preview of the upcoming MoonJune Records albums to be released in November 2023; Beledo – Flotando en Vacío (the album La Casamurada), and Anchor & Burden – Fractured Self (the album Extinction Level).

Anthony Garone‘s theme is unpublished, featuring world class musicians such as Michael Manring and Morgan Agren, and we can anticipate that the mega-talented guitarist, and autor of the seminal book Failure to Fracture: Learning King Crimson’s Impossible Song, will record a full album for MoonJune Records in 2024. Three Spanish musicians Diego Amador, Amos Lora and Jaco Abel and Italy based Mexican musician Israel Varela, contribute one tune each from their previously released works. In the case of Amos Lora, his composition gives the compilation its title. These musicians, either under their own name or collaborating with other artists, will join the ranks of a new sub-label MoonJune, which will be announced in Toledo. on October 1st this year at Entre Dos Águas boutique hotel, which once upon a time was Paco De Lucia’s residence, and still owned by his family. Finally, Fernando Girón and Ana Alcaide are artists based in Toledo, both originally from Madrid, and it will only be a matter of time before these two extraordinary artists become an integral part of the extended MoonJune family..

This compilation, besides introducing the roster of MoonJune Festival Toledo 2023, is also part of the festival organization effort to raise funds to help various aspects of the festival’s production, specifically in the venue design and imagery, logistics, promotion and audio-visual production.

FUENTE DE LA ABUNDANCIA (Fountain of Plenitude) compilation album shows this wide range of musical trends that go from the local to the international. They may seem very different from each other at first glance, but they are all linked by aspects that have to do with MoonJune‘s philosophy of global inclusiveness: never static, always in full motion, forward-thinking, and bringing the world together through music.

Let’s have a great chat! Expect a few special guests!

From the kitchen of the original King Crimson R&D fraKctal units, please let us welcome the new incarnation of tu-NER.

Picture, if you will, a sonic tapestry woven by three extraordinary talents, brought together to create a musical journey unlike any other. Enter the realm of Tu-Ner, a new band formed by the convergence of drumming virtuoso Pat Mastelotto, touch guitar maestro Markus Reuter, and the visionary Warr guitarist Trey Gunn. Together, they craft a harmonious blend of rhythms and melodies that transcend the boundaries of genre and transport listeners to uncharted territories of audio exploration. With their collective mastery, Tu-Ner offers an auditory experience that defies expectations, taking you on an otherworldly voyage through intricate compositions and mesmerizing soundscapes. Prepare to enter a dimension of musical artistry where innovation meets transcendence. Welcome to the realm of Tu-Ner – where the boundaries of sound and imagination intertwine in perfect harmony.

trey:GUNN – Trey Gunn, the extraordinary Warr guitarist and musician, has left an indelible mark on the world of progressive music. Renowned for his virtuosic talent, he has graced the stages alongside legendary acts such as King Crimson, Brian Eno, David Sylvan, Happy Rhodes, Puscifer, and Tool, contributing his unique blend of mesmerizing melodies and innovative playing. As the founder of the esteemed 7D Media record label, Gunn continues to be a guiding force in curating exceptional musical experiences. Trey Gunn’s visionary artistry and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of sound make him a true luminary in the realm of progressive music.

pat:MASTELOTTO – Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, and so too has Pat Mastelotto, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming. Pat has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop, to prog, to electronica to world music with – among others – Mr. Mister, XTC, David Sylvian, The Rembrandts, Kimmo Pohjonen, and for the last 25 years with King Crimson and Stick Men.

markus:REUTER – Markus Reuter is a composer, guitarist, and producer. He began his musical journey as a composer before delving into Robert. Fripp’s Guitar Craft, mastering the Chapman Stick, and eventually transitioning to the U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released numerous solo albums and has collaborated extensively with various musicians. He holds a prominent position in the experimental band Anchor and Burden and forms the duo Tuner with Pat. Additionally, he was a member of Europa String Choir and has worked alongside notable artists such as Gary Husband, Robert Rich, J. Peter Schwalm, Mark Wingfield, and many others. Reuter’s versatility is evident through his involvement in Devin Townsend’s touring band. Notably, he also performs in power trios including Stick Men with Pat and Tony Levin, TRUCE with Asaf Sirkis and Fabio Trentini, and Markus Reuter/Tim Motzer/Kenny Grohowski.

MUSIC FIT FOR TOLEDO

Befitting a label and artist-management company that epitomizes musical multiculturalism, MoonJune’s second annual global gathering takes place in the storied cultural crossroads of Toledo, Spain. With its rich history as the onetime capital of Castile, first capital of Spain, and current capital of the La Mancha region, Toledo is a UNESCO World Heritage site that traces its roots back to Roman times – a place where Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in tolerance for centuries, hence its sobriquet, the City of Three Cultures. Appropriately, the 2023 edition of MoonJune’s annual festival will be staged in the historic El Circulo del Arte de Toledo in the erstwhile church of San Vicente, founded by King Alfonso VI shortly after the Muslim conquest of Spain. Once notorious as the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition, the building has been reborn as a chapel for worship and the creation of art.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

MoonJune’s guiding principles – or as Leonardo Pavkovic prefers, « modus moonjundi » – are in tune with what legendary British bass player Roy Babbington (Soft Machine and much more) memorably described as « poetic entanglement » – that is, the art of being alert to, and confidently acting on, the affinities and happenstances of the moment, in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and goodwill. MoonJune’s mission is to spread unity, joy, and hope through music, toward the elusive goal of peace and understanding on this troubled earth.

The dynamic personality of the festival’s founder, Leonardo Pavkovic – a resident of Toledo since December 2021 – lies at the epicenter of the Festival’s initiative and its spiritus movens. A unique figure in the worldwide musical milieu, « Mr. MoonJune » has long been one of the most creative forces supporting, producing, developing, and organizing ambitious musical projects the world over. The MoonJune Festival is a celebration of the creative spirit and international friendship, a gathering of likeminded musicians, journalists, music activists, and of course music lovers. After a very successful first edition of the festival in Leonardo’s native city of Jajce, Bosnia & Herzegovina – itself a historically important cultural crucible – in June 2022, the Second International MoonJune Music Festival 2023 could not be staged anywhere else but in Leonardo’s new home town, thus connecting two beautiful historic cities: Toledo and Jajce.

A SENSORY FEAST

Designed as an immersive, multi-sensory experience, the Second International MoonJune Festival showcases MoonJune talents from around the planet, including distinguished musicians from the United Kingdom, Germany, USA, Spain, Indonesia, Uruguay, Israel, Cuba, and Mexico. The event offers not just a series of concerts but a unique « penta-sensorial » experience blending sounds, flavors, aromas, and audiovisual elements evoking the rich cultural legacy of Toledo and its surrounding La Mancha region, famed for Don Quixote, Miguel Cervantes, the Windmills of Consuegra, El Greco, olive cultivation, and much more.

The festival will combine:

• Hearing: extraordinary music performed by exemplary players representing MoonJune’s global diaspora

• Sight: projected images complementing live musical performances

• Taste: the gastronomic richness of La Mancha’s regional cuisine, wine, and olive oil

• Smell: fragrances of Toledo’s unique natural and built environments

• Touch: tactile encounters with the walls and buildings of the ancient town, imbued with mysticism from two millennia of history

In addition to the concerts, the festival will include expert roundtable discussions on the state of today’s post-COVID music industry and more, plus the inaugural « MoonJune de la Mancha Awards » for Lifetime Achievement in performing and recording music (and an outstanding career in the music business).

Notes by SID SMITH

Five years after the release of their last studio album, legendary UK musical institution, Soft Machine, return with a brand new album, Other Doors. Boasting new material and two numbers drawn from their extensive historical repertoire, Other Doors finds the band on their usual fiery form.

Featuring John Etheridge (guitars), Theo Travis (saxes, flutes, Fender Rhodes piano, electronics), Fred Thelonious Baker (Fretless bass), John Marshall (drums), Other Doors also features two guest appearances from long-serving bassist Roy Babbington, who retired from the band in 2021.

Other Doors was recorded at Temple Music Studios, a facility owned by the late Jon Hiseman during July and August 2022. It’s a location of which the band is particularly fond, explains John Etheridge. “Working at Jon Hiseman’s studio was special, especially with Ru Lemer who is a brilliant engineer. He’s fantastically quick and that’s very good as we record mainly live in the studio. It’s come out really well and I think it sounds great.”

That ability to work quickly on takes as an ensemble has resulted in a fresh-sounding series of top-flight performances whose typically knotty and sometimes complex themes frequently give way to explosively discursive improvisations. As Theo Travis observes, “The interesting thing about recording free improvisations is you’re not playing to a plan or a grid or a blueprint, so you don’t know what’s coming, and you don’t know what’s coming until it’s gone. At which moment you’re thinking about the next thing.”

The album is brimming with that fast-moving creativity including the title track, whose outline was initially composed by John Etheridge in the Lake District during 2021’s lockdown. Crooked Usages’ slow-weaving machinations and the prowling inquisitiveness pursued during Fell to Earth are similarly imbued with a dextrous yet melodic bite that defines much of the band’s approach. Within this framework, John Etheridge’s supple interrogations across the fretboard’s range coupled with Theo Travis’ tightly focused sax and flute alongside his impressionistic keyboard washes encompass a musical language that can be as cerebral as it is emotionally direct.

The Visitor at the Window, The Stars Apart, and the elegiac Back in Season unfurl into more reflective states of being, variously contrasted by mediative percussion, flute, solo guitar, or swarms of electronica and echoing clusters of electric piano. All coalesce to build into the beguiling atmospherics which forms a vital layer within the Soft Machine sound world. It’s been a kind of tradition with the group to include new arrangements of older Soft Machine numbers from the band’s illustrious back catalogue. These have included numbers as varied as Chloe and the Pirates, Kings and Queens, Out-Bloody-Rageous, etc.

On Other Doors they’ve revisited the very first album, originally released in 1968, to include Kevin Ayers‘ Joy Of A Toy. Fred Baker, makes his studio debut with Soft Machine. A well-known figure on the Canterbury Scene not only is he the perfect choice for the group but he’s also is a long-term fan of the repertoire. “The way I look at it is that this is all great music which we’re continuing to preserve and keep alive as we play it but also we’re adding to it all the time,” he explains. The idea for revisiting the number was Theo Travis’ he says and has been part of the band’s live setlist for a while. “I’ve added some extra harmonies and other things to it, so it’s got my stamp as well as going back right down to Kevin Ayers’ original. It somehow fitted in with all of the new material as well as the older tracks we do. It’s amazing the amount of young people coming along to gigs who are liking the wide range of music we play.”

The album also contains Penny Hitch, a track originally heard on 1973’s Soft Machine Seven. This features the first of two appearances of Roy Babbington who provides the bass lines underpinning Karl Jenkins’ composition while Fred plays the sinuous lead melody on his fretless bass. The pair also worked together as a duo on Now! Is The Time, a number originally based on a theme Babbington brought into the sessions, with Fred and Roy both adding and expanding the scope of the piece.

If the album ushers in a new member in the shape of Fred Baker, it also acts as a fond farewell to drummer John Marshall, who joined Soft Machine midway through the recording of 1972’s Fifth. At the age of 81 Marshall has decided to retire making Other Doors his final studio album with the group, and the final album of his glorious career. “I’ve known John since 1975 when I first joined Soft Machine and of course, we’ve worked through the years together intermittently ever since. His drumming always meant a lot to me,” says Etheridge. “We worked over three days in the studio and John played great. It sounds terrific.” Indeed, Marshall is on whip-cracking form throughout the album bringing his trademark musicality and decisive presence. With Other Doors, he brings his distinguished career to a rousing conclusion.

Intense, celebratory, and consistently impressive. Other Doors is the sound of a group determined to press forwards with an integrity and sense of purpose that’s quintessentially and definitively Soft Machine.

After many difficulties related to venues unavailabilities, local political elections in Spain, the little big dream of Leonardo Pavkovic is becoming a reality, with a little big help of Mauricio Aguinaco of M Films Producciones, festivals’ creative and organizational director, and support of the local iconic venue Circulo de Arte, and Cinco Notas, the managing company of the venue.

The festival will be officially announced this weekend, but in meanwhile I am reaching first to a select number of hard core MoonJunista fans and friends. The venue has a limited capacity of 200, and we can only sell 165 tickets, they are expected to be gone very quickly. Except production crew, a limited amount of journalists, special guests, local authorities and regional authorities, there is no space for expansion, and we want all people who are coming to this unique event to feel comfortable. Everything will be professionally audio and video recorded. Audio recording and audio post-production will be handled by two MoonJunista veterans, Jesus Rovira of La Casamurada and Markus Reuter. All aspects of video production will be handled by the very experienced Mauricio Aguinaco, Mr. MoonJune’s festival associate and creative director.

The space we have chosen for this edition will be El CIrculo del Arte de Toledo, once upon a time an old church of San Vicente, founded by King Alfonso VI shortly after the Muslim conquest of Spain. It was the former headquarter of the Spanish Inquisition, and now a chapel for worship and the creation of art.

An immersive, multi-sensory experience, where the planetary MoonJune talent from different parts of the world – United Kingdom, Germany, USA, Spain, Indonesia, Uruguay, Israel, Mexico – will come to perform their music, offering a unique penta-sensorial experience of flavors, smells and audiovisuals designed to delight all the senses in the ancient city of Toledo, the capital of the La Mancha region, which is not only famous for Don Quixote, Miguel Cervantes and Windmills of Consuegra.

HEARING – music from a great gathered talent.

SIGHT – concerts accompanied by projected images complementing the live performance.

TASTE – involving the gastronomic richness of La Mancha region: cuisine, wine, olive oil.

SMELL – feeling the smell and fragrance of its unique natural environment.

TOUCH – touching the mysticism of the walls and buildings of the ancient town, feeling its rich bi-millennial history.

MoonJune’s guiding principles – or as Leonardo Pavkovic prefers, modus moonjundi – are in tune with what legendary British bass player Roy Babbington – of the Soft Machine’s home of fame -, memorably described as poetic entanglement. That is, the art of being alert to, and confidently acting on, the affinities and happenstances of the moment, in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and goodwill. MoonJune’ mission is to spread unity, joy, and hope through music, toward the elusive goal of peace and understanding on this troubled earth.

The dynamic personality of the founder of the Festival Leonardo Pavkovic – resident in Toledo since December 2021–, the epicenter of the Festival initiative and its spiritus movens, is a unique phenomenon on the world music scene, being for years one of the most creative forces that support, produce, develop and organize ambitious musical projects around the world. The MoonJune Music Festival is a celebration of creative power and a gathering of international friends, musicians, journalists, music activists and, of course, music lovers.

Please support the festival, and come to have a unique MoonJune-in-Toledo experience in one of the most beautiful regions of Europe, in one of the world’s most beautiful historic cities, Toledo, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive monumental and cultural heritage.

All attendees will receive full personal attention by ‘Toledo MoonJunit’, and early buyers will be fully assisted with traveling and logistic tips – car rental, hotel or AIRBNB booking, gastronomy suggestions, and more. The closest airport is Madrid, only 55 minutes by car.

Our associated partner Rafael Carmena Bravo’s travel agency Best Mice. Upon the purchase of the ticket, You will be directed to the right e-mail address to start arranging Your stay.

Suggested multi-day itinerary: Arriving in Toledo on Wednesday, September 27 and leaving on Tuesday, October 3 or Wednesday, October 4. In that ay You can have a day or two to explore beautiful surroundings of Toledo: Almonacid Castle, idyllic villages Guadamur and Orgaz, Windmills of Consuegra, olive oil mils and extra virgin olive oil tasting, wine and food tasting, and more.

Late September weather is gorgeous and pelasant in general.

Be creative, use the Google, and count on Toledo MoonJunit for help and tips.

	Kosmonautik Pilgrimage is Anchor and Burden‘s sixth, and the band’s first album with drummer Asaf Sirkis, and it should come as no surprise that he sounds like he has been in the band since the beginning. The music is rich and eventful, from the atmospherics and thunder of opener « Corridors of Silent Screams » to the pattern repetition of « Cerebral Transfixations » to the serpentine melodies of « Secret Laboratory. » It definitely rewards repeat listening. – Mark Sullivan, All About Jazz

2022


	MOONJUNE RECORDS RELEASES FALL 2022


	Dear Friends In Music As many of you know, MoonJune Music and MoonJune Records have relocated to the beautiful historic city of Toledo, the former capital of Castilla and the first capital of Spain. I have lived in NYC since 1990, I started MoonJune in 2001, and a few years ago I decided to move to the old continent, closer to my Mediterranean/Balkan roots, choosing Spain as my new home country. Moving and traveling the world is very easy for me, I never get tired of traveling, touring and sightseeing. But moving a company and a huge inventory and a large amount of personal belongings (including more than 12,000 CDs from my personal collection and a few thousand books) was not so easy. A two month sea-cargo shipment ended up being a 6 month odyssey, including handling so much bureaucracy, but due to my dual citizenship (I have an Italian passport), the bureaucracy, was actually the easiest part of the whole process and I was able to relocate without paying any import duties, but shipping per se cost me a small fortune. In the meantime, I’ve been involved with multiple tours for some of the artists on my booking roster, and now, with a new office, located just behind one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, I’m pretty much ready to continue doing what I’m known for: running an eclectic indie record label in this inconvenient environment, very unfriendly to independent music. And I had very little time to promote my latest releases and not so much to offer them to the general public as well as physical distribution. Well, it’s never too late, and now, at the end of this important year in my life, I present to you the 6 MoonJune releases, which I hope will catch your attention. Three albums feature the omni-present MARKUS REUTER, the most recorded artists on MoonJune, and besides band/projects leaders, to notice the presence of several prominent and legendary prog, jazz and rock artists such as KENNY GROHOWSKI, EIVIND AAARSET, PETER BANKS (R.I.P.), DAVID CROSS, DAVID JACKSON, COLIN CARTER, BILLY FICCA, MARILYN CRISPELL, PAT MASTELOTTO. CDs are shipped from Spain. FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN EUROPE (only $1USD for additional CD), $5 SHIPPING to the USA and anywhere else in the World. Sorry no tracking number, unfortunately Spanish Postal Service does not offer such service for regular packages.

	Every year I am asking label’s fans and supporters to vote for MoonJune. Why? Not only that it helps MoonJune, a brutally independent record label run solely by yours truly, but because also because many of MoonJune associated artists that are based in secondary and tertiary music-industry territories, far from the glitziness and eyes of New York, Los Ángeles, London, Paris or Berlin. Being associated with MoonJune, they can be better exposed internationally, they can get more attention in their own country, and they also can apply for grants. MoonJune musicians often come from places such as Indonesia, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Belgium, Uruguay not only from the USA, UK, Germany or Italy. And soon there will also artists from Iran, South Africa and so on and on. Musicians cannot do everything by themselves, they need help, guidance, support – specially if they are coming from secondary and tertiary territories. This year, MoonJune Records has moved to Toledo (Spain) after 21 years operating from New York City. It’s a big move and a big challenge. The label is on a temporary hiatus until the first week of September, due to complex logistics of sea-cargo delivery MoonJune Records will reassume operations with some releases this coming Fall and from 2023, there will be brand new resurrected MoonJune Records with new attitude and many exciting releases in that no-defined genre exploring and expanding boundaries of jazz, rock, avant, ethno, the unknown, and anything in between and beyond. Last June, MoonJune had it’s own music festival, in the historic beautiful city of Jajce in Bosnia & Herzegovina, and in June of 2023, a similar festival will be held in Toledo, Spain. In order to vote in the 87th Annual DownBeat Readers Poll, the magazine requirement is to be subscribed, and the E-SUBSCRITION is absolutely FREE, with no obligation to buy anything, and You will be receiving occasional email newsletter from them, and DownBeat doesn’t cover only jazz, they have covered King Crimson, The Allman Brothers Band, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, The Doors, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and many other.

Legends and big names will always be there, no matter what.

IN SHORT You can’t find a more culturally diverse record label and booking agency than MoonJune, so it’s wholly fitting that the first in a planned series of international festivals will take place this June (wink) in MoonJune founder Leonardo Pavkovic’s native Bosnia-Herzegovina, a crucible and crossroads of myriad cultures since ancient times. Gathering a planetary cast of MoonJune musicians spanning the USA, Uruguay, Indonesia, France/Vietnam, Republic of Tuva, Russia, Germany, Italy, Spain/Portugal, and Israel, the inaugural event will be staged at historic public spaces in Leonardo’s hometown of Jajce, a famed beauty spot and UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate. MEMORIES TO MAKE The festival culminates a commemorative expedition where the “MoonJunit” – Leonardo Pavkovic himself, his earliest friend Borislav Boro Kresojević, musician/scribe Dennis Rea, and documentarians Vlad Oboronko and Anthony Garone – journey to portentous locales from Leonardo’s past where the seeds of the now global “MoonJunista” community germinated. The festival activities will be part of an illustrated biography of Leonardo in book form, and a documentary movie about Mr. MoonJune’s formation, present and future plans, plus audio/video documentation of the festival itself. Mr. MOONJUNE Born in Jajce in 1962 when Bosnia was still a part of Yugoslavia, from an early age Leonardo yearned to discover the unknown lands on the “other side of the mountain.” Gradually forging his own path with serendipity on his side, this polyglot citizen of the world relocated to NYC and went on to build an improbably successful one-man international music enterprise in defiance of standard music-biz practice – remarkably, with no concession of musical excellence and imagination. Along the way, he gathered around himself an ever-expanding constellation of adventurous musicians ranging from gifted lesser- known talents to such zeitgeist-defining figures as drum exemplar Bill Bruford, who hailed Leonardo’s abilities as an “enabler” of aspiring musicians, and guitar avatar Allan Holdsworth, who affectionately dubbed him “Nardini” and his singular approach to life “Nardinism.” BACK TO THE ROOTS In 2019, 39 years after he’d left Bosnia for distant shores, Leonardo tramped back over the mountain to Jajce to present a concert featuring MoonJune musicians Dwiki Dharmawan (Indonesia), Kamal Musallam (Palestine), Asaf Sirkis (Israel), and Boris Savoldelli (Italy). He and the assembled musicians met with an extended ovation from townspeople and municipal officials appreciative of the global connections he’d forged with their home. That homecoming concert, organized by lifelong friend and fellow son of Jajce Borislav Kresojevic, set the table for the First International MoonJune Music Festival, again organized by Borislav, sponsored by the town, and free to all in Jajce’s spectacular waterfall park and public square. GUIDING PRINCIPLES MoonJune’s guiding principles – or as Leonardo prefers, “modus moonjundi” – are in tune with what legendary British bass player Roy Babbington (Soft Machine and much more) memorably described as “poetic entanglement.” That is, the art of being alert to, and confidently acting on, the affinities and happenstances of the moment, in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and goodwill. In this anniversary year, the MoonJunit’s mission is to spread unity, joy, and hope through music, toward the elusive goal of peace and understanding on this troubled planet earth.

	After 21 years, MoonJune is moving from NYC to the new HQ in Toledo, Spain


	Dear Friends in Music Two years behind schedule (I guess you can guess why), MoonJune Music is finally moving into new headquarters, after 21 years of business in arguably the greatest big city in the world, New York, which I’ve called home since August 1990., when I have arrived with zero expectations but with many dreams and hopes, from the beautiful Italian region of Apulia, leaving a more than ‘comfortable’ life, to try something new in my life and to be owner of my own destiny. New York City was very generous to me. In 2001 I founded MoonJune Music and subsequently MoonJune Records. It’s a long story why it all happened and how it happened. Among other things, it will be revealed in my upcoming book ‘The Other Side Of The Mountain’ which I’m co-writing with my good friend and fellow ‘moonjunista’ Dennis Rea (Moraine, Iron Kim Style, DR). Despite certain ‘comfort’, my life was pretty turbulent until I was 28, when I decided to quit my past, put in motion my present and embrace the future, and head to NYC to found myself in the concrete jungle of the Big Apple, and after 31 years, I can say that I was lucky enough to enjoy life to the fullest extent, and to create MoonJune in 2001 out of nothing, thanks to a very generous help of my friends, without any plan or action and without knowing where all that would take me to. I have created my own world of my own comfort, the MoonJune Extended Family Universe. I still love NYC, my love for that phenomenal city will never cease, I will be eternally grateful to the Big Apple, no other city or geographic location could influence my life more than New York City. But the time to move has arrived a couple of years ago, interrupted by the COVID plague, but now I am here, finally, in Toledo, a city-museum, with more than 2000 years of history, suitable for a 60 years young romantic warrior (on May 17th 2022 I will be 60). But in reality, very little will change: I will continue to book shows all over the world as I always did (around 3000 contracted shows in over 60 countries on 5 continents) , I will continue to travel internationally (Madrid will become my home airport instead of JFK or La Guardia), and I will continue to run my label MoonJune Records, in my usual and unorthodox way. MoonJune Records will be exclusively releasing my own productions or co-productions and I will be working exclusively with the people I choose to work with, who are any friends from the past, present and the future. No demos will be accepted, no plans will be made, no budgets will be established. Not obsessions to sell, no paranoia about the streaming, no worries about what others would say what we do. Our duty is to do what we like to do and that we like what we do. The recorded music business has changed forever, there are many obstacles and challenges, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop doing what we love. When it comes to fulfilling CD orders, MoonJune will be taking a break until early to mid July 2022. The label’s inventory will be shipped this week from NYC via airfreight with some other personal belongings (CD and book collection, magazines, memorabilia and much more), and the whole process can take between 2 and 5 weeks (3-4 days actual shipping and the rest is bureaucracy. Therefore, no CDs, T-shirts, LPs, or books can be shipped until the entire contingent arrives in Toledo, Spain. I apologize for all those who have purchased physical products in the last 5 days and intend to purchase physical products in the next 4-6 weeks. But this move has to be made, for a better future of MoonJune Records. In recent years, sales of CDs and other MoonJune Records items have dropped significantly anywhere in the world except the US, averaging 20% per item. Imagine if someone has to buy a CD for $15, VAT is $3 and shipping is $15 on average. $33 for a CD? You must be kidding!! Being located in Spain, all that nightmare for European customers will be over. Without VAT and only 3.80 Euros per package sent within Europe and 1.95 Euros within Spain. And shipping packages to Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Central and South America is much cheaper than shipping from the US. And shipping packages from Europe to the US is 75% cheaper because it ends from the US. USA to Europe. And to keep US buyers happy, MoonJune will charge a very low shipping fee, only $4 USD, a little less than the actual cost, to keep the same shipping cost as shipped from NYC anywhere in the USA. Due to inability of BandCamp to bulk edit quantities for all 250+ physical items on sale currently on MoonJune Records’ website, the price for each physical item is temporarily $100 and it will be changed to the suitable and regular price once the inventory is in Spain. I apologize for the inconvenience. In 7-10 days, only the following CDs will be available for sale: • STICK MEN – Tentacles • MASK OF CONFIDENCE – Mask Of Confidence • CLINT BAH – PuzzleBox I appreciate Your patience on this matter. All digital downloads are still at their regular prices and MoonJune is offering 30% discount on all digital goodies until Thursday, June 2nd, 2022. After the purchase, please type this discount code at the checkout: TOLEDO2022MOONJUNE and 30% discount will be applied automatically to Your purchase.

	TRUCE 2 is the 120th release on MoonJune Records, the first release in 2022. A very special album for the NYC-based independent label, and this is what 5 protagonists of the realization of this album are saying about it: MARKUS REUTER (touch guitar, electronics) A bit over 2 years ago, the first TRUCE album come to us as a big surprise. Upon its release it was an instant success and fan favorite. That was another, most-welcome surprise. Now, two years later, we are about to put out the follow up album, TRUCE 2. The time between these 2 recording session is where things got interesting. No need to explain about the practical impact the pandemic had on us. Cancelled concerts, cancelled recordings sessions, etc. Things had turned out quite differently from what we had in mind for the band. But anyway, as we were playing the first few takes in the studio in July 2021, we quickly realized that playing like on the first album just didn’t work. This was suddenly a new band that was like a stranger to us. Yes, we’re the same people, but it felt like there were new souls in our bodies. The self-reflection and the emotional rollercoaster had left an imprint in our souls, and it is reflected in the music for me. There simply was a different story to tell this time… And we had to discover that story as we went along. Fortunately I can totally rely on my allies, and it didn’t take long to find renewed energy and interconnectedness that made us create a wonderful set of instant composition that excites us. It’s a reminder of the power of music. Fabio Trentini plays basses, Asaf Sirkis plays the drums, and I play Touch Guitar and electronics. The setup was similar to the first album’s recording, but this time Fabio had 3 basses with him: The Wal fretless bass that he had use with us before, but also a fretted 5-string bass, and an electric upright bass. We were recording at Ritmo&Blu studios in the north of Italy, with engineer and co-producer Stefano Castagna, who became very important in the post-production process. And then there was Leonardo Pavkovic, who inspired us with his proverbial enthusiasm, encouragement, optimism and smiles. The album was recorded over 2 days, with a third day that was reserved for ‘overdubs and repairs’. Fabio and I then met once again with Stefano a few weeks later, to mix and master the album in just a few days. A major change for us, considering that the previous TRUCE album was recorded in one afternoon with virtually no overdubs. FABIO TRENTINI (fretless bass guitar, fretted bass guitar, electric upright bass) As a musician and as a music producer, I’ve always been the kind of guy who needs to have the whole situation under control. I never considered myself a good improviser at all. TRUCE taught me the art of letting myself fall, trusting my bandmates and trying to come up with something interesting in real time, without planning things. To me, it means an important enrichment musically speaking, but most importantly I see it as sort of therapy and a spiritual experience. The first album came into being all at once, the recording session took less than a day, and we were able to come up with some very energetic and pretty wild material. TRUCE 2, even if it’s based on improvisations just like the previous album, is a layered work. We invested more time into some overdubs and treatments, and managed to channel more colours and ideas into the record. ASAF SIRKIS (drums) Playing with the TRUCE trio has always been an ‘in the flow’ musical experience for me. As a drummer, I’ve enjoyed a certain freedom of expression unlike any other band I’ve played in! I believe that, to a large degree, this is due to the trio’s sympathetic way of playing together as well as each of the musician’s serious dedication and honest and organic contribution to the music. Compared to our first album, TRUCE 2 has been a journey of discovery. How can we go to places we haven’t been before? Is the question that was often raised while we where recording this album. That exploration has been been both intense and rewarding and I hope you’ll enjoy this musical journey with us.

	STEFANO CASTAGNA (recording engineer, mixing and mastering engineer) I was flattered by the request of the band and their label to intervene in the post-production, mixing and mastering of their second album which was recorded in my studio, and I immediately thought that the best thing to do could be to press the accelerator, which, in some respects, connects me to a period in which rock merged with the concepts of improvisation without necessarily falling into the formalities of jazz. From a technical point of view, all recordings were made digitally in the 24/96 format. For post production and mixing, the computer and some digital solutions were used for those indispensable aspects, but in essence the work was mainly carried out in an analog environment using physical hardware. I have always believed that music has more expressive possibilities when the mixing follows certain criteria of greater involvement of human action. Often the mixes were « performed » in real time and without automation, trying to keep the philosophy of improvisation unchanged, in my opinion the strong point of all this work.

	LEONARDO PAVKOVIC (record producer, enabler) When I suggested to Markus Reuter to record a power trio album in which he can be the protagonist and ferocious soloist, he immediately accepted the challenge and he couldn’t say no to my suggestion to count on one of our mutually favorite drummers, Asaf Sirkis. Markus ’choice for the bass position was reserved for his old pal and collaborator for over 2 decades, Fabio Trentini. I love the ideas of power trios. Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, ELP, Rush, The Police, King’s X, Stick Men are some of the greatest and some of my favorite rock trios. MoonJune Records has different trio set ups on its label roster, some of them including Markus Reuter (‘Lighthouse’ with Mark Wingfield and Asaf Sirkis; and ’ShapeShifters’ with Tim Motzer and Kenny Grohowski). Markus Reuter and Asaf Sirkis are two omnipresent ‘moonjunistas’, two artists who released more albums on their own or in various projects than anyone else. I truly believe that all three of us have grown together: my label has grown thanks to them, releasing some outstanding music which feature their immense multi-dimensional and genre-crossing talent, and they both grown musically, embracing new challenges and conquering new sonic dimensions with exemplary new and innovative music. Easily, two of my all time favorite musicians and dear friends and companions on various tours and recording sessions around the globe. producer and bass maestro from the Italian Dolomite Alps, Fabio Trentini, is a newcomer in the ‘moonjunista’ world, and I am sure there will be new opportunities to make some more great music together in the near future, whenever and wherever that future is. TRUCE will be a touring band, some shows to be booked this year, only in Europe, and later this year there will be recording of TRUCE 3 album, and 2023 the band plans to visit as many places possible and to play to as many people possible.COVID permitting, of course.

	From Stephan Thelen: Fractal Guitar 2 remains one of my own favorite albums, not just for musical reasons, but also because it was such an enjoyable working experience in which many of my musician friends sent me file after file after file of amazing and spellbinding music. In the end, there were so many tracks that ultimately did not make it to the album, but were simply too good to just let go of. A good example is Andi Pupato’s Middle Eastern percussion track for my remix of Point of Inflection which wasn’t quite right for the main album, but set the stage for the very different vibe of the remix. Also, while preparing the mixes for Fractal Guitar 2, it became clear that the extensive material for this album had the potential to be remixed and remodeled in many different ways. Knowing that some of my friends were excellent and creative remixers, I reached out to see who would be compelled to re-imagine the pieces. A big thank you to Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, David Torn and Barry Cleveland for their incredible remix skills and musical imagination. In an e-mail written after hearing Bill Laswell’s remix, Barry wrote to me: „This is fascinating on multiple levels. A sort of master class, really …Even King Tubby would raise his eyebrows at that schnizzle.“ Of course, he’s right.

	HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PERCY JONES, THE BASS LEGEND AND ICON! December 3, 2021


	To celebrate Maestro’s Birthday, MoonJune and PAKT are releasing another live album of the improv super-group (Digital Format only!)

DOWNLOAD • $10


	PERCY JONES – bass ALEX SKOLNICK – guitar KENNY GROHOWSKI – drums TIM MOTZER – guitars, electronicsRecorded live by Paul Ligner at the open air stage at @Sharkey’s, Liverpool (Syracuse), NY, September 11, 2021, during the EPIC FEST. Mastered by Markus Reuter. Edited by Tim Motzer, All tunes named by Tim Motzer. PAKT Live at Epic Fest, Liverpool/Syracuse by Tim Motzer So the setting for the Epic Fest was outdoors on the massive grounds of Sharkeys B&G with a huge festival stage built with accompanying live sound system. It was a surreal setting. An old cabin cruiser boat sat near the stage with a gaping hole in the bow. Next to it were hundreds of empty childrens school chairs, just set out in the field in all forms of random positions. Quite strange. I have some photos somewhere. Epic Fest is mostly a Prog Festival, with some great bands, one whose name I can’t recall, were playing Zappa music, and they sounded great. Leonardo presented the debut of the PAKT t-shirt on this gig. It was good to be here. Our travel entailed 3/4 of PAK(T) and our label honcho and manager Leonardo in a van from NYC, quite a long journey complete with speeding ticket! As for me, I had an early start but was quickly trapped by an accident on the I-76 expressway getting out of Philly. This put me behind by over an hour, and added stress, so it was gonna be close. Once I made it through to I-80, I had to press the pedal-to-the-metal to 80-90mph to make our soundcheck. I listened to Nefertiti and Red on the way up, and made it just in time. Thankfully no speeding tickets for me! The rest of the band was on stage set up. Rushing is a crazy thing when you’re on tour. But it all worked out. A great and helpful crew here, and the sound is quite good, and BIG! It was so great to reconnect with Percy, Alex, and Kenny! Nice vibes! After soundcheck, we retired to the ‘green room’ which offered many sugary delights on the table, cupcakes, jellybeans, assorted candy, donuts, etc but no real food. Sugar is the last thing we were looking for. It was quite odd. Eventually we were fed some bar food prior to the gig—strange salads, and something resembling chicken tenders! In the green room was a giant swordfish suitable for a big trophy wall. Everything here was surreal to us. We chatted about all kinds of things and joked about the lack of deli tray. remember saying to Percy that Steve Hackett was playing the same day as us in Liverpool UK, as we were playing Liverpool NY. Percy worked with SH on Voyage of the Acolyte back in ’75, I think it was. Liverpool Syncronicities. But what a gig it was. I’m happy this one was documented. I think this set echoed our travel day, speeding upstate NY trying to beat time. It was a great sprawling set. We stretched and unleashed some great music. It was fresh and good to play again, and felt like we were all in it together, chemistry, one collective improvisation. High points all around. I love the way we listen, and carve out and sculpt the music. Great vibe, and the audience was loving it and vocally letting us know. We even got deep into some mutated sputtering blooze. You never know what will show up or vector in during our sets. I think this concert displays some jaw-dropping soloing too, and exquisite interplay. Folks there were so blown out, and we talked to many afterwards. Magic was present. I’m so happy this was recorded and it does sound great. You don’t always get a good sounding recording night to night. Markus Reuter did a great job mixing and mastering this set. Thanks Markus! I think you’ll agree. Can’t wait until our next gigs in December. We hope you’ll come see us, and in the meantime, enjoy this PAKT in Liverpool concert. Until soon!

	From Leonardo Pavkovic, MoonJune Records & MoonJune Music. Dear Friends In Music Why I am asking You to vote for MoonJune. I do not have publicist, I do my own publicity, then I shamelessly end up promoting what I do. But that’s not only beneficial for my brutally Indy label but is beneficial for my artists as well. Except a few, all my artists are ‘unusual’ and from some secondary and tertiary progressive music territories, far from the lights of the niche micro-mainstream of the related genres and subgenres, and more than often they do not fit in cliches of what is and who is Prog Rock or Jazz or (con)Fusion. That’s why I have to shout loudly to those often narrow minded worlds of prog snobs, Jazz police and confused fusioneers. Yes, we exists, we who are not easily boxed in prefabricated cliches of what’s what and what’s not, and who does it right and who does it wrong. MoonJune Records and MoonJune Music celebrate 20 years of existence in 2021, 20 years of running away from business cliches, 20 years of running by myself only a boutique independent agency (over 2500 concerts on all 5 continents in multiple genres), 20 years of running a brutally independent record label (approaching 120 label’s releases in January 2022). I do my own publicity and promotion, occasionally I use someone else, a third party, if I am too busy. And I am busy most of the time. I travel with several artists on my booking roster around the world, and when I am in NYC with my wife and son, and when cooking more bookings, that’s when I ‘run’ the label. Very challenging. The world was challenging, MoonJune Music has suffered consequences of the COVID-19, close to 300 shows cancelled, and MoonJune Records’s existence depends on the MoonJune Music income. Without my bookings and other side business activities, there would be no MoonJune Records. Now it’s time to vote in the PROG MAGAZINE’s annual Readers Poll. PROG is the biggest and the most influential progressive rock magazine in the world, and getting great results it really helps. Don’t trust those who say, it doesn’t help. Of course, it does. Anything in this over-saturated but shrinking progressive music world helps. And You can vote in all categories and to vote for those that you like the best. But if you vote for Yours Truly – Leonardo Pavkovic, which means MoonJune (they don’t have category RECORD LABEL), and artists, projects and albums on my label, that would be wonderful and truly appreciated. And it will help current and future independent artists on the label’s roster. Life is though and challenging, but being a stubborn optimist and positivist, a dreamer and a fighter but with the sense for the common sense and the knowledge of the reality, I cannot but continue what I am doing. MoonJune is gradually moving to Toledo, Spain, it will take some time, due to the current situation, to put all my ducks in a row, but I have no doubt, it will be done sooner than expected, and some new horizons in the MoonJunista Universe will be open for new sonic adventures and much more.

	BELEDO is Uruguayan born, NYC based multi-instrumentalist, predominantly guitarist and pianist, who grew up in Montevideo and was a prominent player on the jazz scene in his native Uruguay, is joined by drummer Kenny Grohowski, who in addition to taking part in several MoonJune recording dates, has worked with John Zorn, John Medeski, Imperial Triumphant, as well as the most recent incarnation of Brand X. Completing the core trio for the record is bassist Tony Levin, whose stellar list of credits includes Paul Simon, John Lennon, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and King Crimson. The centerpiece of the album is Beledo’s arrangement of Eberhard Weber’s composition, Seriously Deep. Originally appearing on the ECM album, ‘Silent Feet’, the album and that track in particular had a huge impact on Beledo and his friend Jorge Camiruaga when they first heard it upon its release in 1978. Lasting over 14 minutes the track, with its graceful gently unfurling melody, features Beledo on electric guitar and acoustic piano. Beledo’s high-end undulating solo is complimented by Levin’s ruminative response at the opposite end of the tonal, adding up to a beautifully balanced performance. A different kind of emotion lies at the core of Mama D, a track dedicated to the late South African singer, Dorothy Masuka and performed here by Botswanese vocalist Kearoma Rantao. With lyrics written by Beledo that chronicles Masuka’s life from the oppression of the apartheid regime to the struggle for a more equitable existence in the modern South Africa, Rantao’s powerful performance glows like a beacon shining at the center of the track’s complex, shifting arrangements. A very different vocal is heard on A Temple In The Valley with Italian composer and singer Boris Savoldelli adding his athletic wordless singing to a track whose wistful, bitter-sweet melody sounds like a hidden gem from the Canterbury Scene. A gorgeous song-without-words, it’s a tune you might find on an album by Hatfield And The North or Caravan. That the album features both written and improvised music is very much the core of Beledo’s approach. “I like to make sure that the musicians have all the materials in advance and that the arrangements are already digested by the time we get to the studio. Then the improvisations will flow without stress. I tend to write everything, but it is not to box people into what’s written but in the hope that it will create a frame of infinite points that will expand the possibilities of expression. The improvisations are an aspect that takes more than a 50% of my compositions and when it comes to my guitar playing it is the aspect that I feel it allows me to express my true self,” says the guitarist. While the core trio worked live face-to-face in the studio, COVID meant that the vocal contributions had to be done remotely. Beledo is especially pleased with the results. “Boris and Kearoma gave a 200% to their performances, sang their lines soulfully and masterfully, and they created their own arrangements such as where they overdub more than one voice. It is amazing how two people singing two different songs in different parts of the world added extra choir parts at the end of certain phrases. I’m so pleased my music inspired them in the same way.” His writing either for instrumental or vocal settings exhibit a supple eloquence. Coasting Zone and Maggie’s Sunrise suggest reflective moods with a yearning quality redolent in their melodies and solo lines. The latter in particular enhanced by Beledo’s piano work and his guitar’s yearning quality that occasionally brings to mind Allan Holdsworth’s plangent tones. Maggie’s Sunrise features Jorge Camiruaga on vibraphone, a life-long friend of Beledo who shared a passion for that Eberhard Weber Colours album back in 1978. Yet it’s a characteristic of Beledo’s finely honed approach to guitar playing that he isn’t concerned with any kind of obvious showboating or gratuitous displays of technique. Dexterous bursts of speed can be at their most engaging and exciting when they are deployed sparingly, that is, as and when the music demands it. Beledo is just as likely to be carefully crafting atmospherics as undertaking unnecessary dashes up and down the fretboard. Good examples of this are found on Knocking Waves and Into The Spirals, two tracks that were improvised live in the studio between Beledo, Grohowski and Levin and which demonstrate his textural approach as a means of enhancing the moment, showing real empathy with the work of his colleagues. credits

	ALEX SKOLNICK ‘MYSHKIN’ This is a solo project of the heavy metal guitar icon and legend Alex Skolnick, versatile also as a jazz, fusion and progressive rock electric guitarist, as well world music acoustic guitarist. ‘Mishkin’ is an imaginary voyage through the human mind and spirit, exploring and expanding sonic boundaries using ambient soundscapes, loops, space guitar solos and much more. ********************************** PERCY JONES MJ12** MJ12 is Percy Jones solo project started with the collaboration with NYC based drummer Stephen Moses. Their sound combines prog-fusion-rock, free jazz and sly humor in precise romps, crushing grooves, drone-based improvisations. In Percy words: « We took the name from Majestik 12, which was supposedly a group of 12 scientists and engineers assembled in the late 40’s to investigate UFO’s. There is an ongoing debate as to whether this group actually existed or not. Stephen Moses and I had been doing gigs for a while where we would invite guests to sit in. We did all improv, so this was actually M&J +1 or 2. After a while we started using David Phelps and Chris Bacas on a regular basis if they were available. At this point we started writing stuff, but keeping a lot of the improv thing going to keep it spontaneous. The end result was bits and pieces of ideas coming from everybody that we’re all tied together to try and make a coherent tune, but with lots of blowing inside.” The band is coming back to the live scene after a 2 years hiatus due to the lockdown and COVID-19, and after the ProgStock Festival in Rahway, NJ on October 3 (with Alex Skolnick kindly subbing for Dave Phelps); the band will perform in Brooklyn, NYC at the ShapeShifters Lab on October 15, 2021 Percy Jones (bass guitar) Percy Jones grew up near Llandrindod Wells, Wales. He studied electronic engineering at the University of Liverpool before joining Liverpool Scene in 1967 He was a member of jazz fusion band Brand X from 1974 to 1980, and a reformed version which lasted from 1992 to 1997. He was in NYC based band Tunnels from 1990 until 2005. Still residing in New York, he is currently a member of MJ12. Jones is best known for his unique fretless bass sound. Jones was also briefly a member of the jazz fusion group Soft Machine, and has contributed to recordings by David Sylvian, Brian Eno, Steve Hackett, Roy Harper, Paranoise, Suzanne Vega, Richard Barbieri, Nova and Fovea Hex, amongst others. Stephen Moses (drums) After several years playing as part of « the loft jazz scene » in NYC with the likes of James Chance, John Zorn, Phillip Johnston, Eugene Chadborne, Ken Simon, Dave Hofstra (and many others) Stephen started getting busier with more rock and jazz/rock in the CBGB’s scene with Giant Metal Insects and Quality Trio with Jim Matus & Percy Jones. Alice Donut formed after that and took Stephen on the road and the studio for several years and a dozen albums followed by a few tours with Rasputina. Then a few years ago Stephen rejoined Percy to do what we do today. Dave Phelps (guitar) Guitarist David Phelps is currently a member of Peter Apfelbaum’s 11-piece band The New York Hieroglyphics, which includes many of today’s best creative musicians, including drummer Dafnis Prieto, bassist Patrice Blanchard, trombonist Josh Roseman and vocalist Abdoulaye Diabate. Their newest album « It Is Written » was released in August 2005 on the ACT label. He also leads his own band the Eclectic Troubadours. David grew up in Denton, Texas, the home of the University of North Texas, formerly known as North Texas State. As a youngster, he started playing the bass clarinet and later played in bands with many of the children of North Texas faculty members. David, along with his twin brother, bassist Drew Phelps, attended North Texas, studying with Rich Matheson and guitar guru Jack Peterson, among others. David then traveled to Alberta, Canada where he studied at the Banff Centre with jazz greats Dave Liebman and Dave Holland (both Miles Davis alumni). He also studied with John Abercrombie, Steve Coleman and Kenny Wheeler. Chris Bacas (saxophone) Chris began his career at age fifteen as a sideman with a club band in York, PA, and after attending North Texas State, he began his jazz performance career in earnest. Beginning in 1983, Chris played in the Glen Miller Band, The Tommy Dorsey Band, the Artie Shaw Band, and Buddy Rich’s legendary Big Band until Rich’s passing in 1987. Over the past twenty years, Chris has appeared at festivals all over the world, including the Nice, North Sea, Cork, Santiago, Montreal, Moers Texaco, Annapolis, JVC New York, and Central PA Jazz Festivals. He has performed in Copenhagen at the Tivoli Gardens; in Los Angeles at The Hollywood Bowl and LA’s Comedy Store; in New York’s Blue Note and Birdland; at Chicago’s Jazz Showcase; and in Washington D.C. at Blues Alley and One Step Down.

	Dear Friends in Music The oldest and the most respected jazz magazine in the USA and probably in the whole world, is open to vote for your favorite record label, favorite artists and albums and musicians – jazz & beyond jazz, in the 86th Annual DownBeat Readers Poll. downbeat.com/readers-poll Every year I am asking label’s fans and supporters to vote for MoonJune. Why? Not only that it helps MoonJune, a brutally independent record label run solely by yours truly, but because also because many of MoonJune associated artists that are based in secondary and tertiary music-industry territories, far from the glitziness and eyes of New York, Los Ángeles, London, Paris or Berlin. Being associated with MoonJune, they can be better exposed internationally, they can get more attention in their own country, and they also can apply for grants. MoonJune musicians often come from places such as Indonesia, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Belgium, Uruguay not only from the USA, UK, Germany or Italy. And soon there will also artists from Chile, Iran, South Africa and so on and on. Musicians cannot do everything by themselves, they need help, guidance, support – specially ion they are coming from secondary and tertiary territories. In order to vote in the 86th Annual DownBeat Readers Poll, the magazine requirement is to be subscribed, and the E-SUBSCRITION is absolutely FREE, with no obligation to buy anything, and You will be receiving occasional email newsletter from them, and DownBeat doesn’t cover only jazz, they have covered King Crimson, The Allman Brothers Band, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, The Doors, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and many other. They are very open minded. Direct link to vote: downbeat.com/readers-poll Please select: Subscribe to DownBeat’s FREE eNewsletter [HERE]! Once signed, You will receive an e-mail that will let You vote! Please check Your SPAM FOLDER! Besides voting for MoonJune in the Record Labels category, I suggest also to vote for the following: * Allan Holdswsorth – in the category Hall Of Fame * Soft Works ‘Abracadabra Live In Osaka’ in category Historical Album. Legends such as Allan Holdsworth, Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper, who are not with us anymore, deserve more attention in this poll, as well their Soft Works companion, the legendary drummer John Marshall. Despite my effort and push, DownBeat somehow completely ignored this historic album of Soft Works which marks the beginning of the legacy of Soft Machine which includes Soft Machine Legacy and Soft Machine (2002-2021 and onward), but also the beginning of MoonJune Records and my booking and management agency MoonJune Music. And please consider also Gary Husband (piano, keyboards and drums category), Tony Levin (bass and electric bass category), Soft Machine (jazz band category), and all other great musicians featured on MoonJune albums. Again, You are not only helping an independent label run by one person only, but also You are helping talented artists from around the globe, which, if not for MoonJune, You would never ever know of. Thanks to MoonJune Records, artists such as simakDialog, Dewa Budjana, Dwiki Dharmawan, Tohpati, Xavi Reija, Beledo, Vasil Hadzimanov, Dusan Jevtovic, Vasko Atanasoivski, Dennis Rea, Mark Wingfield, Srdjan Ivanovic, Michel Delville, Dominique Vantomme and others, became familiar to fans of the progressive jazz. There are many categories to choose from in the 86th DownBeat’s Reader’s Poll. The only limitations are for the choice of albums – only those albums released between July 1, 2020 and June 30th 2021 qualify. You might know, MoonJune always sells CDs and direct downloads 2-3-4 months more month before the official release, and before digital distribution, to boost the direct sale on the MoonJune’s website. Downbeat has this release dates on file, if You decide to vote for any of below mentioned albums and musicians involved with those albums. (Click on each album to stream the music on BandCamp.)

asafsirkis-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/solar-flashSOLAR FLASH is the new album of Israeli born and UK based drummer, composer, arranger and educator Asaf Sirkis, featuring a stellar line-up consisting of English keyboardist extraordinaire Gary Husband, Scottish bassist Kevin Glasgow, and special guests Polish vocalist Sylwia Bialas and USA born English guitarist Mark Wingfield.Expect some haunting ‘outer space’ electro-acoustic sounds with a wide range of dynamics ranging from Erik-Satie-like gentle ballads all the way to high energy electric Prog-jazz-improv and everything in between.In the words of Mr. Robert Wyatt:
“I’ve known Asaf’s gifts for years, certainly enough to say that as far as I can see, there’s NOTHING he can’t do when he puts his mind to it. Of course on this innovative record his kit skills just keep expanding but what really gets to me here are his ethereal, haunting compositions, which take the soloists into uncharted territories, guiding them but allowing them freedom to dip and dive through their solos in their own sympathetically idiosyncratic ways. So this is a remarkable recording which, with its very distinct individual voices, has nevertheless the feel of a single living organism: Quite acombination!” In the words of Dr. Bill Bruford:
« Listening to Asaf Sirkis at work, two things are immediately obvious: passion and commitment. Blessed with technical skills that are disarmingly under-played, his middle-Eastern sensibility balances the potentially volcanic with the meditative and reflective. A master of creative surprise, it’s on the edge of your seat listening when Asaf’s in town. »ASAF SIRKIS – drums, compositions, arrangements
GARY HUSBAND – acoustic piano, keyboards
KEVIN GLASGOW – 6 string electric bass guitar
with special guests:
SYLWIA BIALAS – vocals (1, 3, 4)
MARK WINGFIELD – electric guitar (3, 5, 8)Recorded at La Casamurada studio, Banyeres del Penedes, Catalunya, Spain, by Jesus Rovira. Mixed by Christoph Reiss. Mastered by Alex Klebl at Marell Music, Germany. Album artwork by Sylvia Bialas. Photos of the Solar Flash Band by Borislav Kresojevic.Produced by Asaf Sirkis of StoneBird production in association with Leonardo Pavkovic of MoonJune Records. International release executive production by Leonardo Pavkovic.

	In July of 2021, the newly formed supergroup PAKT – featuring bassist Percy Jones, guitarist Alex Skolnick, drummer Kenny Grohowski and guitarists and soundscapist Tim Motzer – have performed 4 shows promoting their debut album on MoonJune Records. For all 4 musicians that was the first time playing in front of the real audience, in 16 months, JULY 22 – PAWLING, NY (Daryl’s House) JULY 23 – KENNETT SQUARE, PA (Kennett Flash Rooftop Series) JULY 24 – BROOKLYN, NY (ShapeShifter Lab) JULY 25 – SELLERSVILLE, PA (Sellersville Theater) Every show is different from each other, every show is recorded, and all four shows will be released digitally this late Summer and early Fall. And this coming Winter PAKT will record studio album to be released in the late Spring of 2022. Supporting this digital only live albums, will make the new studio album possible. Upcoming shows: SEP 10 (Fri) – TBC SEP 11 (Sat) – Syracuse, NY (Epic Fest) SEP 12 (Sun) – Hudson Falls, NY (Strand Theater) Eleven months before this July-22-2021 performance – on August-15-2020, the very first PAKT performance – playing masked and distanced to a dimly lit empty venue in the midst of the pre-vaccine pandemic era – had a surreal quality that informed the music. Now here we were about to make our our debut to a live audience at Daryl’s House in Pawling, once again playing completely and spontaneously improvised music. To be honest, we weren’t 100% sure how it would turn out. Would a comparatively normal situation – a room full of music lovers enjoying beverages and bites while listening intently – inspire us to go on similar spontaneous journeys? If so, would our audience go there with us? As soon as the lights went down, the travelling began. Throughout the evening, there were cheers and responses from our first crowd. It was as though we’d planned our arrangements as meticulously as a tune by Hall & Oates. By the time it was over, the answer to those questions had been a clear and resounding “yes.” We are grateful the Daryl’s staff and a sizable audience for taking a chance on a project that is thoroughly uncharted (in more ways than one) and proving to us that the PAKT experience has a life beyond one strange night in the midst of a pandemic. More live music to be released, enjoy! – Alex Skolnick

	Dear Friends in Music Exactly 20 years ago, around my 39th birthday (May 17, 2001) my MoonJune Records odyssey started as a side amateur gig, aimed to help a few friends and a few progressive bands from Italy, while still working for the legendary Studio T Graphics located at Union Square in Manhattan. I had no idea what I was doing then. In a very extensive interview with Chris Slawecki for All About Jazz in 2018, I have recounted how this MoonJune odyssey actually started. You can read the whole interview here: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/leonardo-pavkovic-nothing-is-ordinary-leonardo-pavkovic-by-chris-m-slawecki.php The stew was boiling slowly but progressively during the whole 90’s, but a series of events in 2000, starting with January 1st 2000, when I reconnected with my old friend, the legendary Elton Dean, everything has changed, exponentially. And my life has changed forever. Thank You all from the support all these years, and above all, I am grateful and thankful to all musicians who made my one-man-operated label, bigger than my life, with their extraordinary and uncompromising talent. Yours truly Leonardo Pavkovic

This is a FREE online event this upcoming Sunday celebrating MoonJune’s 20th anniversary. The online ZOOMeeting will take place on Sunday, May 16, 2021, 2pm NYC time (8pm Berlin time; please check Your time zone).

Special co-hosting appearance by the legendary jazz, fusion and prog scribe John Kelman of All About Jazz. The chat will be about adventures and misadventures of a one-man-army running a small enterprise in a very unorthodox way, achievements and debacles, stubbornness and persistence, human relationships, thick skin, lunacy, difficulties in the murky waters of the business of music, challenges, frustrations, joys, achievements, struggle, travels, touring, crude reality of the world in which we currently live, and above all – dreams. And its not all about Horatio Nardini.

	MoonJune Records is pleased to feature on the label the first artist born in Bosnia & Herzegovina, a native land of MoonJune’s honcho Leonardo Pavkovic: drummer, composer, arranger, educator SRDJAN IVANOVIC, based in Paris, France. SLEEPING BEAUTY album is out now Everything is a source of pleasure in this album: the magic of the trumpet, the candor of the flute, the inventiveness of the drums and bass, the lyricism of the guitar. – Jean-Claude Vantroyen, Le Soir (Belgium) Ivanović feels the breadth of jazz, and through the mix of musicians from different parts of the continent, he seems to want to send a message about how much this genre today represents a universal musical language, connecting kindred souls by feeling, emotion, inclination towards beauty, or towards discovering beauty….’ – Voja Pantic, Politika (Serbia) ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is a romantic, reflective, sensual-associative-emotional album. Nowadays, we probably need such sounds, so it’s really worth going to this fairy-tale land, if only to take a deep breath. – Marcin Pulawski, Laboratorium MF (Poland) Lyrical, devilishly nuanced, sewn with musical subtleties. – Xavier Prévost, Les Dernières Nouvelles du Jazz (France)

	A ‘five-member’ ensemble, the International Blazin’ Quartet is led by Bosnian born and Paris, France, based drummer, composer, arranger and educator Srdjan Ivanovic. Blazin’ Quartet and their special guest maestro flutist Magic Malik, delivers on their 4th studio album ‘Sleeping Beauty’, a very profound, organic, timeless and articulate sound. Nine tracks of unpredictable, potent, refreshingly divorced from the sonic status quo while exceedingly brilliant creative mettle are offered, awaiting for the attentive listener’s pleasure. Seldom does such an ensemble jazz cast weave so seamlessly, yet play with such heartfelt emotion, conviction and, at times, abandon. With an inherent, extraordinary chemistry on display, moments of the most rare, exquisite beauty materialize while ascending to the fore. A delightful, resounding lack of pretense, combined with abounding imagination and sparkling, upper-echelon performances, contributes to an album that’s as fresh and ingenious as ensemble jazz gets, from every facet. Praised by Downbeat Magazine as “a band that twists and tweaks conventions” Blazin’ Quartet has been pushing the boundaries of improvised, ethnographies and electronic jazz since it’s creation in Amsterdam in 2008. The multi-national Blazin’ Quartet features Srdjan Ivanovic (Bosnia & Herzegovina; drums, keyboards, compositions, arrangements) Andreas Polyzogopoulos (Greece; trumpet), Federico Casagrande (Italy; guitar), Mihail Ivanov (Bulgaria; double bass), and special guest Magic Malik (Ivory Coast; flute).

	In the words of Srdjan Ivanovic: My life has consisted of many moves, changing countries, neighbourhoods and appartements, more often than I wanted to. I’ve come to realise that what has meant home for me is music, and in particular the music I hear in my head. This music is personal but if you wanted to categorize it I guess you would say that it’s rooted in the Balkans (as in the mix of strong cultures of the east and the west, not just as in ‘’party brass band music’’) and is expressed through Jazz, and Jazz for me means freedom and ex- pression, that’s what I fell in love with, the freedom and expression that be-bop brought and that flourished into many different sounding music creations. Blazin’ Quartet has transformed over time in many ways, as the 3 previous albums and this new one might tell you. After moving to Paris I wanted to reinvent the band, find musicians that would bring something new but yet stay true to the innovative, ad- venturous spirit of the music we previously made. The musicians were chosen to fit this music and the ideas I had but also the music was chosen to fit these great musicians. They are all masters of their instruments and very strong personalities and I wanted to give as much of that as possible, within my own musical vision. I also distilled my previous ideas about making an album and went for a photographic approach to music on tape – capturing a vibe, not looking for a perfect take. I was inspired by the idea of sleeping beauty, that only the awakened mind sees. To put it in another way – I never fully understood why a diamond is so much more valuable than the so many beautiful stones that you find on any beach. Anyway, with this album I wanted to deliver music that I felt was right, without giving in to preconceptions of what a ‘’jazz’’ album should be and let the musicians on it shine in their best light. I was really happy that an unexpected trumpet solo by Andreas – later turned duo when I overdubbed the keyboards – was a track that I loved and kept. Or that an unplanned guitar solo, by Federico, would end up on the album. On the tunes with Magic Malik, Rue des Balkans and Guchi (another unplanned event at the recording session, a tune from Jalkan Bazz, one of our previous albums) we again went for the vibe and the journey. The title track, Sleeping Beauty is inspired by my wife Catherine. It’s not a typical decision to start an album with a ballad and to have a drum-trumpet free-jazz battle instead of a solo but I think that it actually makes sense. The birds in the intro and outro were recorded at our lockdown location, at dawn for the intro and at night fall for the outro. I was lucky enough to spend the lockdown in the coun- tryside, near Sancerre in France, and more than ever before spend three months in isolation and close contact with nature. Finally – in the last years I have been listening so much to Ennio Morricone that I had to do something about that. I’m a big fan of melody – which I think is the king of music – and Ennio Morricone was a king of melody! The Man With the Harmonica is a very well known tune of his and I think we managed to stay true to it, without changing much, and at the same time transform it into some- thing almost unrecognisable. So, although the music didn’t really change, the vibe is not anymore the vibe of the duel between Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda in ‘’Once Upon a Time in the West’’ but instead it’s ‘’ours’’, I guess something more on the mediterranean side. The other tune ‘’A l’aube du cinquième jour’ is a tune that just with the melody takes you on a journey, proving my earlier point about melody! Again, we didn’t change much but gave it our own rendition that I think makes it very personal. I met illustrator Severine Scaglia at the playground as a friend-parent and again, I thought that that’s a place as good as any to discover a great artist. I admired her collages for both their aesthetics and their message which illustrated so well her subjects. I think that this cover illustrates closely this music, a collage of very simple elements that through the illustrator’s vision awaken in the composition as a whole. Finally, this album is a realisation of my people who believed in it, Leonardo Pavkovic of MoonJune Records, and the team at Le Coolectif, as well as press agent Valerie Mauge, and booker Sabrina Ouyang, who are helping bring it to you. As much as we can do, we need people to help us bring forward what we do.When initially asked to talk about this new album, my first thought was to say that beauty ‘’sleeps’’ in everything but when I think again I would rather say that everything is beautiful but we are ‘’asleep’’ and don’t experience it. But, sometimes, somebody creates something that touches us, wakes us up, and for a moment we see everything shining in it’s true light. I hope this recording does that to you.

Coming out in June, the new studio album ‘Solar Flash’, of the amazing drummer

Asaf Sirkis

, with a foreword by no more no less than

Robert Wyatt

, in company of maestro

Gary Husband

on piano and keyboards, and wonderful 6-strings bass guitarist Kevin Glasgow. Another sonic gem from the recording sessions at

La Casamurada

studio in the beautiful countryside of Catalonia, Spain. Special guests on 4 tracks each are

Mark Wingfield

(the omnipresent MoonJunista) on guitar and

Sylwia Bialas

on vocals (Sylwia also created beautiful artwork for the CD package). This is the 12th album featuring

Asaf Sirkis

, and the 8th album featuring

Gary Husband

, two among my favorite people and dear friends, on

MoonJune Records

Robert Wyatt

wrote: « I’ve known Asaf’s gifts for years, certainly enough to say that as far as i can see, there’s NOTHING he can’t do when he puts his mind to it. Of course on this innovative record his kit skills just keep expanding. but what really gets to me here are his etherial, haunting compositions, which take the soloists into uncharted territories, guiding them but allowing them freedom to dip and dive through their solos in their own sympathetically idiosyncratic ways. So this is a remarkable recording which, with its very distinct individual voices, has nevertheless the feel of a single living organism:

Quite a combination ! »

Bill Bruford

on Asaf Sirkis: « Listening to Asaf Sirkis at work, two things are immediately obvious: passion and commitment. Blessed with technical skills that are disarmingly under-played, his middle-Eastern sensibility balances the potentially volcanic with the meditative and reflective. A master of creative surprise, it’s on the edge of your seat listening when Asaf’s in town. »

***** Special dedication on this album is for

Sun Ra

and

Eric Kamau Gravatt

, two among Asaf’s favorite musicians. You have to hear it, once is out! A hell of an album! And I am in Sonic Paradise, while listening this gem!

VASKO ATANASOVSKI – alto & soprano saxophone, flute (Slovenia)
SIMONE ZANCHINI – accordion (Italy)
MICHEL GODARD – tuba, serpent (France)
BODEK JANKE – drums & tabla (Poland/Germany)
Special Guest: ARIEL VEI ATANASOVSKI – cello (Slovenia)The Adrabesa Quartet consists of four exceptional musicians, brought together by its long-standing founder and leader: composer and saxophonist, Vasko Atanasovski.Vasko is a well-known and well-established European maestro, having collaborated with renowned musicians such as Hindi Zahra, Vlatko Stefanovski, and Living Color, among a celebrated career. His masterful, unpretentious approach to his instrument has seen him embrace a host of diverse genres, exhibiting a fluency and grace which compliments any musical setting.The quartet’s musicians are among the leading virtuoso instrumentalists in the world. Simone Zanchini is an Italian accordionist, who has been collaborating with Vasko since the early part of this new millennium. (Simone is the only founding member still with Vasko since the Adrabesa Quartet’s initial incarnation, back in 2005.) With the two having collaborated on numerous albums and concerts, Zanchini’s advanced musical stylings are a superb compliment to Atanasovski’s polished melodic sensibilities.A virtyoso on his instrument, Zanchini’s eccentric brilliance has garnered praise and recognition. In 2016, he received the coveted Orpheus Award – for « Best Jazz Album of the Year, » in Italy. Simone’s commanding presence has propelled what has become an extensive resume of collaborations; many with noted jazz musicians such as Bill Evans, Adam Nussbaum, John Patitucci, Jim Black, Paolo Fresu, Gianluigi Trovesi and Javier Girotto, among many. He regularly performs across the globe, and is a featured soloist with the Milan Scala Orchestra.The Adrabesa Quartet’s tuba player, Michel Godard, hails from France. Michel has enjoyed a distinguished career: one which has seen him work with many great artists, including Kenny Wheeler, Ray Anderson, Michel Portal, Louis Sclavis, Henry Texier, Enrico Rava, Michael Riessler, Rabih Abou-Khalil and many others. Godard has also collaborated with Vasko for many years; including a most recent performance at the 2020 Maribor Festival – where the two were paired as featured artists, backed by the Slovenian Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra.The unit’s fourth member – who plays percussion and Indian tabla drums – is Bodek Janke. Currently residing in Poland, Bodek is the quartet’s newest member. His is also a career marked by accomplisment and embellished by stellar names. In 2008, he was awarded the « Jazzpreis Baden- Württemberg », the highest award for jazz musicians in Germany and the « German Records Critics’ Award » (« Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkri- tik »), for his work on Olivia Trummer’s « Westwind. »In 2010, he was honored as « Best Soloist of the Year » at the Neuer Deutscher Jazzpreis competiton, in Mannheim. He, too, has collaborated with scads of great artists, most notably of which are David Liebman, Ben Monder, Dave Binney and Billy Harper.After assembling the group for an ongoing, inspirational Melem (translation: « Soul Remedy ») project back in 2017, there was an organic chemistry which quickly emerged. Inspired, Vasko and company decided to produce an exquisite musical document, highlighting their own original works and incorporating an assortment of regional ethnic musical dialects. Compiling a collection of pieces as quirky and unconventional as the quartet’s instrumentation (sax, accordion, tuba and percussion), « Phoenix » stands as a shimmering testimony to both their considerable individual talents and corporate inventiveness. Inspired by some divergent musical roots — combined with a sense of nostalgia and genuine passion for their craft — the aptly titled album signifies the rebirth of a unit with a long-standing reputation for creative excellence across Eastern EuropeJoining the quartet’s magical sonic adventures is special guest, Ariel Vei Atanasovski. Ariel is Vasko Atanasovski’s 17-year-old son: a gifted young cellist, and ambitious understudy of renowned cellist, Professor Niko Sajko, at the Maribor Conservatory of Music and Ballet, and Slovenian virtuoso, Igor Mitrovic (also a Professor), at the Klagenfurt Music Conservatory. A musical prodigy, Ariel has remained active in various fields of music from a young age, and can already boast of numerous performances, international awards and original compositions. Boasting a musical maturity which belies his age, Ariel’s contributions only add to « Phoenix »s allure.

The tactic of bringing together exceptional musicians for spontaneous recording in an idyllic setting of La Casa Murada, a XI Century farmhosue transformed in temple of music and recording studio, has resulted in a growing body of work that does much to define the identity of Moonjune. Hari Ketiga, under the nominal leadership of Indonesian keyboard wizard Dwiki Dharmawan, takes this tactic into another realm entirely, building a many-layered artistic construction out of improvisation, reassembly, grand concepts, and unfettered creativity. The foundation of this massive work is a series of improvisations at La Casa Murada on May 17, 2017 involving Dharamawan (piano, electric piano, synthesizer, harmonium), Boris Salvoldelli (vocals and effects), Markus Reuter (Touch Guitar and electronics), and Asaf Sirkis (drums). These improvisations, some of which were quite lengthy, were then edited into backing tracks (in a manner somewhat like what Teo Macero used on Bitches Brew and other Miles Davis albums) by Pavkovic, and then Salvoldelli added more layers of vocals in collaboration with writer Alessandro Ducoli, who helped develop a cosmic storyline involving the destiny of the planet Earth and all its inhabitants. Dharmawan contributed some field recordings from Indonesia for another layer of sound. The result is a double CD set two and a half hours in length full of music that has been astonishing listeners since parts of it started sneaking out a couple of months ago. This is a stunning example of what can happen when musicians are encouraged to reach beyond their comfort zones, to do things they might never have tried in more structured situations. Dharmawan shows himself to be incredibly versatile, with some sections that are achingly lyrical, richly tonal, and full of emotion and other parts that are chaotic and filled with some of the strangest synthesizer playing you’ll ever hear. Salvoldelli is of course known for using his voice in unconventional ways, so his contributions are less surprising. Reuter is in territory only slightly removed from some of his more unconstrained previous work. He provides ambient washes much of the time, but also screaming feedback with really insane effects applied. Sirkis is often the keeper of the tempo in the absence of a dedicated bass player, devising some fascinating rhythms that don’t adhere to conventional patterns. All in all, there are too many points of interest to go into. Suffice to say that it’s never boring or predictable, and much of Hari Ketiga sounds like nothing you’ve ever heard before. With individual tracks running all the way up to 34 minutes in length, listening to it may seem akin to binge watching an entire TV series in one sitting, but people do that all the time, so maybe there are listeners with an attention span up to this task. With Salvoldelli’s vocal antics, it’s hard not to pay attention when this music is playing, so casual listening is a challenge, but the depth of sound and creativity here should provide new discoveries for years to come. – Jon Davis, Exposé Magazine

MoonJune Records still believe in the physical product, but the current environment in the music industry, out-bloody-outrageous hijack of the shipping prices, and everything at the end screwed by the consequences of the COVID-19, and MoonJune prefers sending high quality digital downloads, but still sending promotional CDs to top 250 contacts around the world (I remember days when I used to send 1000+ CD promos!), which now in recent years causes a substantial financial burden to the decaying world of the truly independent music, due to the outrageous shipping costs from the USA anywhere in the world.

Stay safe, healthy and sane in this insane world.

Cheers from New York City.

GARY HUSBAND & MARKUS REUTER

Music Of Our Times

MoonJune Records, MJR101 (April 2020)

Yet another facet of two contemporary genii is revealed. Maestros Gary Husband and Markus Reuter embark on an impromptu journey of both mind and soul, in one of the most unique, timeless efforts ever to grace the MoonJune label – or, for that matter, the improvised and avant-garde genre – with the release of the recherché, « Music Of Our Time. »And, fittingly occupying the label’s 101 space – starting the second century of releases in the same fashion as MoonJune first came into being (with the initial release: Elton Dean & Mark Hewins’ « Bar Torque ») – yet another monumental duet takes shape: perhaps in defiance of the circumstances which prompted its creation, as well as the industry environment into which it is birthed.

Temporarily stranded after performing only one show in Japan, at Blue Note in Nagoya, and having the remainder of the Japan and China tour with Stick Men (Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter) with very special guest Gary Husband (on keyboards), abruptly cancelled, together with producer Leonardo Pavkovic, Husband and Reuter quickly constructed a ‘Plan B’ on the fly. Acting quickly, they booked a block of studio time in a Tokyo before their return flights. In a candid, unrehearsed setting, the two bared their souls – uncovering further evidence of their fluid, inventive natures.

Inspired by the house’s beautiful Fazoli Pianoforti grand piano, Gary Husband unveils new depths of his unique musical prodigy. Markus Reuter proves the perfect compliment: kinetically synchronized in effortless perfection to his partner’s every shift and turn – with graceful elegance, and rich textures providing spacious understatement throughout proceedings.

The chemistry between artists takes its immediate and obvious form: through their mutual reverence of the musical moment at hand, exhibited through seemingly telepathic interplay and dynamics. The result is a priceless gem: « Music Of Our Time » is a lustrous jewel of exquisite beauty and magnificent stature … an ethereal creation, which ventures to places and spaces music rarely accesses.

GARY HUSBAND – Equally versatile on drums, piano and keyboards, and being considered one of the virtuosos on any instrument he plays, Gary recorded and performed on all continents in past 4 decades with greats such as John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jack Bruce, Robin Trower, Billy Cobham, Quincy Jones, Nguyên Lê, Ulf Wakenius, Mike Stern, Jimmy Haslip, Jimmy Johnson, Jeff Beck, John Etheridge, Al Jerreau, Soft Machine, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Stick Men, Markus Reuter, Level 42, Lenny Hite, Randy Brecker, Andy Summers, Eddie Jobson UK, Steve Hackett, Gongzilla, John Wetton, Jerry Goodman, Vinnie Colaiuta, Matt Garrison, Ranjit Barrot, Etienne M’Bappe, Alex Machacek, Dewa Budjana, Mark Wingfield, Asaf Sirkis, Keith Tippett, Theo Travis, and many others.

MARKUS REUTER – Markus is German multi-disciplinary musician, composer, record producer, sound engineer and instrument designer. Reuter’s work as recording artist, solo performer and collaborator spans (and frequently fuses) electrophonic loop music, contemporary classical music, progressive and art rock, industrial music, world jazz, jazz fusion, pop songs and pure improvisation. Initially trained as a pianist, he subsequently studied Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft and learned to play the Chapman Stick, later moving onto the U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released several solo recordings and worked extensively with other musicians. He is the member of the avant-progressive rock band STICK MEN (with Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto of the King Crimson fame), in which he is the main composer. He is also one of the core members of the experimental band Centrozoon, half of the duo Tuner (with Pat Mastelotto) and was also a member of Europa String Choir. Reuter has collaborated with Ian Boddy, Robert Rich, No-Man singer Tim Bowness, and many others. Markus Reuter has joined Devin Townsend’s band in August of 2019.

Third Stone From The Sun, by Machine Mass

from the album Plays Hendrix

Enregistrer

2014

https://thewrongobject.bandcamp.com/album/plays-hendrix

Augmented by the addition of the otherworldly talents of young maestro keyboardist, Antoine Guenet (The Wrong Object; Sh.TG.N; Univers Zero), fellow sonic adventurers — and Machine Mass founders — guitarist Michel Delville (The Wrong Object; douBt; Alex Maguire Sextet) and drummer Tony Bianco (douBt; Elton Dean; Dave Liebman) combine forces to steam through a set which provides a refreshing retake of some of the most

influential psychedelic rock classics from the ’60’s that changed the face of music! While the songs reference frameworks familiar to most classic rock aficionados, the comparisons end there: the trio follows flight plans which are uniquely their own, achieving moments stunningly fresh, instinctive, profound and moving. The addition of piano and keyboards to the tracks provides a welcome approach, imploring reharmonizations as well as complete revisions many hipsters, both young and old, will revel in!

In typical Machine Mass fashion, the music thumbs its nose at convention and is unapologetically uninhibited in its delivery. The group pushes boundaries on all front, producing a record that is as fascinating from a tonal / textural perspective as it is from the ‘harmonic rethink’ and the mass of corporate liberties taken within the song structures, respectively.

Machine Mass’ « Plays Hendrix » is an engrossing, brilliantly conceived retake on some of rock’s most adventurous classic moments; a quintessential album for fans of rock, psychedelic and progressive, alike.

Also available as 3 LP 180 grams gatefold vinyl limited edition
released worldwide by Audio Anatomy (Poland).

Indonesian guitar legend of Balinese ethnic heritage and balinese Hindu faith – Dewa Budjana – marks his initial Favored Nations release in grandiose style, offering his most ambitious album to date,« Zentuary. » Supported by an all-star cast of enormous proportions – including jazz drums (and occasional pianist) legend, Jack DeJohnette (Miles Davis; over forty years on the ECM label), the iconic progressive bass and stickman, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel; King Crimson; Stick Men), and the extraordinary superstar sideman talents of Britain’s Gary Husband (Allan Holdsworth; John McLaughlin; Billy Cobham; Jack Bruce) – Budjana offers a profusion of cross-cultural delicacies which tease, cajole, enthrall and, ultimately, satisfy listeners. Special guests include guitarist Guthrie Govan (The Aristocrats; Steven Wilson; GPS), Tim Garland (Chick Corea; Bill Bruford), Danny Markovich (Marbin), Czech Symphony Orchestra and Indonesian flutist/vocalist Saat Syah and Indonesian singers Ubiet andRisa Saraswati.

Dewa Budjana, a veteran player whose 30 years career has already been marked by collaborations with a virtual « who’s who » of jazz, fusion and prog luminaries (Peter Erskine, Vinnie Colaiuta, Antonio Sanchez, Chad Wackerman, Jimmy Johnson, Jimmy Haslip, Dave Carpenter, Reggie Hamilton, Ben Williams, Joe Locke, Larry Goldings, Janis Siegel, Dwiki Dharmawan, Ron Thal Bamblefoot, Billy Sheehan, and many others), still manages to raise the stakes and elevate the level of his game on his fifth solo album.

Aside from his renowned skills on guitar, Zentuary documents Dewa Budjana‘s position as one of the genre’s most prolific, accomplished composers and arrangers. The music on this 2-CD set is a magnanimous affair, where its highly skilled participants are given ample space to create and express. The net result is a soaring, synergistic mélange of brilliant, articulate instrumental progressive rock, jazz-rock fusion and world music. After 4 successful and critically acclaimed releases on MoonJune Records (« Dawai In Paradise », 2013; « Joged Kahyangan » in 2013, « Surya Namaskar » in 2014″, and « Hasta Karma » in 2015) this is – under the auspices of MoonJune Music and MoonJune Asia – a Favored Nations debut of the Indonesian icon not to be missed!

LIGRO « Dictionary 3″
Available now on BandCamp and in 10 days also on CD on MJR’s website.
After a nearly three-year absence, the seminal Indonesian jazz and fusion master guitarist Agam Hamzah, and his power avant-jazz-rock trio returns to the spotlight with guns blazing! Ligro’s Dictionary 3 makes good on all of the promise suggested by their 2012 international debut on MoonJune Records, Dictionary 2 – finding the group in commanding form, delivering a soulful, ambitious effort that rocks with brute force and conviction.
Featuring a special guest appearance by the young Indonesian jazz keyboard prodigy, now based in Los Angeles, Ade Irawan (who was 18-year-old at the time of the recording), the album ventures to domains which highlight the amazing versatility, depth and unbridled sense of adventure that has become this multifaceted group’s trademark. Highlighted by the sometimes-explosive, sometimes-syncopated, but always highly engaging rhythms of renowned players, bassist Adi Darmawan (one of the Indonesia’s busiest and most in-demand bass players) and drummer Gusti Hendy (of the Indonesian mega pop-rock sensation Gigi), Dictionary 3 sees the band propelling each other to new musical heights, as they embark on a fresh journey that probes previously unexplored sonic terrain while keeping the accelerated mashed down to the floorboard! »

	Few reviews on Levin Brothers album « … a hearty portion of tightly cohesive songs that merge the best of Bach with the pace of bop. » – Ira Kantor’s, Elmore Magazine (USA) « … every single cut qualifies as a standout! » – Peter Thelen’, Exposè (USA) « … This is pure jazz, inspired by the music that the brothers heard in the fifties and came to love. » – Wolfgang Giese’s, RockTimes (Germany) » … there is a remarkable purity and innocence to this music. THE LEVIN BROTHERS manages to be both serious and playful without ever losing the passion and edge that comes from pairing two masters of their instruments playing a style of music they both love. A terrific album not just for fans of classic jazz, but for fans of music, period. » – Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault (USA) « … a player from the Jazz league has teamed up with one from the Progressive league and they both show just how they can swing. ‘Cool’ doesn’t come close to fully describing this album. » – Travis Rogers, Jazz Times Magazine

In the early ‘70s he switched to keyboards, becoming a synthesizer specialist in the New York City recording studio scene.

	« Mark Wingfield…determination to take his instrument into previously-unknown territory” – Anil Prasad, InnerViews Dear MoonJune Friends Following in the tradition of the greatest pioneering guitarists of XX century – icons such as Beck, Torn, Rypdal, Fripp, Holdsworth, Belew, Frisell and Hendrix – American-born Englishman Mark Wingfieldoffers a completely new vision for the potential of sound and expression that the electric guitar holds, establishing an entirely new vocabulary and palette of tones. But, for Mark, that is where the « following » abruptly ends! With sensitive, dynamic support from fellow messengers, upright bassist Yaron Stavi and drummer extraordinaire Asaf Sirkis, « Proof of Light » ventures to sonic destinations whose coordinates lie well off the intergalactic map. Fresh, vital and completely inventive, in the truest sense, the music this fabulous trio produces is reminiscent of the ECM « glory years », from the late ’70’s through the mid ’80’s. The performances are bold and daring, and bordering on the telepathic; the compositions are profoundly visionary and innovative, yet still heartfelt. Equally pleasing to connoisseurs of ‘guitar albums,’ cutting-edge progressive jazz, and eclectic progressive music, « Proof of Light » is immediately essential: showcasing Mark Wingfield as one of the most imaginative, imperative voices on guitar to emerge in this new millennium. « In Proof Of Light, Mark Wingfield‘s debut album on MoonJune Records, the instruments have been relieved of their usual responsibilities and constraints and are thus able to better serve the emotional intensity of this highly charged and powerfully lyrical music. Mark Wingfield‘s guitar serves as thesinger through the creation of mercurial fluid vocalizing and often feels more like light coming through different layers of fabric than an electrified stringed instrument. Asaf Sirkis‘ amazing drumming seems to mimic weather conditions, full of dynamic tension and give and take. His style possesses the fullest imaginable range of pitches and velocities giving both structure and atmosphere to the songs. Upright bass has never sounded this assertive and large, and Yaron Stavi creates a gorgeous and authoritative looming presence in the music. All three players also take turns playing melodic leads. « Proof Of Light’is one of the most inspired and original recordings heard in recent years. » – Daniel Burke (contributor to Jazz Inside) Like the artwork on his new album Proof of Light, Mark Wingfield’s music soars high above the subliminal, the terrestrial, the mundane, transporting us with his musical voyage. Eschewing the traditional role of the guitar in a trio, his axe takes on the role of a vocalist or a horn – shimmering and sometimes bellowing with expression and imagery of profound beauty. Progressive innovative guitar at its finest! – Jerry Gordon (Serenade to a Cuckoo, WPRB Radio, Princeton University) Mark Wingfield‘s influences are rooted in John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Jimi Hendrix and as well in jazz, rock, Indian, Japanese, African and classical music. Part of the hallmark of both his guitar playing and his composing, is that these influences are fused with western classical music, and integrated into a distinctive musical voice. His compositions blend lyrical melodies with a distinctive harmonic palette and sometimes complex rhythmic components. He has recorded numerous albums as a leader, and has recorded or performed with internationally acclaimed musicians including Iain Ballamy, Kevin Kastning, Asaf Sirkis, Yaron Stavi, Thomas Strønen, Jeremy Stacey, Robert Mitchell, Jane Chapman, René von Grünig, Christoph Leistner. Wingfield was also involved with the ground breaking internet band ResRocket within which he played with such musicians as Tricky, Matt Black, Peter Gabriel, Elliott Randall, Todd Rundgren and Dave Stewart. Yaron Stavi, based in Lodon and originally from Israel, has played and recorded previously with Gilad Atzmon, Robert Wyatt, Nigel Kennedy, Richard Galliano, David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, John Etheridge, Asaf Sirkis. Asaf Sirkis, also originally from Israel and based in London, has played and recorded previously with Gilad Atzmon, Tim Garland, Gwylim Simcock, Gary Husband, Larry Coryell, John Abercrombie, Jeff Berlin.

	Dear MoonJune Friends this is a very special release of a very special friend, and one of my favorite artists today, Dewa Budjana. Joined by a superb cast of marquee players, Dewa Budjana‘s new release (his 4th on MoonJune), Hasta Karma sets a new benchmark for modern progressive jazz excellence in the 21st century. With a vibe and feel more akin to that of a band with decades of experience together, Dewa Budjana and his stellar session-mates – the legendary NYC vibraphonist Joe Locke, and Pat Metheny Unity Group’s rhythm core: the fabulous, articulate young upright bassist Ben Williams, and the extraordinary maestro drummer Antonio Sanchez – create superlative atmospheric textures that transport listeners to destinations of soaring altitude. Augmenting proceedings further is the glowing work of the legendary Indonesian keyboardist Indra Lesmana.Showcasing his compositional and arrangement skills at their absolute finest, most finely-honed, Budjana has delivered his ultimate masterpiece in *Hasta Karma. Capitalizing on their extraordinary gifts, Dewa Budjana* pushes the band, and his music, to new, unparalleled heights. Oozing quality at every turn and dripping emotion throughout, this is music that is supremely visionary, ambitious and majestic. … and, perhaps in spite of its polish, it is undeniably straight from the heart.All the players involved contribute some of the most convincing performances of their impressive careers, yet the multifarious displays of individual greatness never upstage the corporate sanctity of the musical moment. *Hasta Karma* is modern progressive jazz at its most sensitive – and its very best.

	MoonJune’s New Releases Two different kinds of progressive jazz from Indonesia


simakDIALOG Live at Orion (2cd) MJR068 Recorded during the simakDialog‘s first USA tour in 2013 at Orion Studios in Baltimore. On this double album of almost 2hrs of music, the Indonesian band offers up their own brand of inspired and spirited music of extreme integrity which listens as much as it speaks.

	Direct link for more info and purchase options: www.moonjune.com 2cd album $19+shipping \| BandCamp Download $11 Leader, composer and (Fender) Rhodes scholar, Riza Arshad, possesses one of the most capable sets of hands ever to grace a Fender Rhodes. His manipulation of this classic keyboard, whose warm and slightly rounded metallic voice has helped define modern jazz, brings out the very best it has to offer as he charts out new territories of sound. Arshad’s wonderfully sophisticated compositions form the perfect armature for the musicians to flesh out the sound in a very organic way that compels the listener to deeply take it all in. Tohpati’s guitar work is the perfect dancing partner to Arshad’s keys as he can lead or follow depending on the needs of each composition. His subtle atmospherics bring to mind David Torn, Terje Rypdal and Nels Cline, while his leadwork can possess both the fluidity of Holdsworth and the aggressiveness of Jeff Beck. Though there is no shortage of acrobatic axe-wielding on “Live at Orion”, Tohpati’s democratic interplay with Riza’s gorgeous Rhodes is the real star here – creating a powerful synergy that gives voice to the whole of the music over its parts. The rhythm section of Endang Ramdan and Erlan Suwardana, each on Sudanese kendang percussion, along with Cucu Kurnia on assorted metal percussion and the understated and convincing “Bitches Brew” funk groove of bassistRudy Zulkarnaen, creates a formidable foundation of one of the most original and innovative progressive electric jazz artists today. NYC based Uruguayan guitarist Beledo is guesting on the closing tune of the album.


Tesla Manaf Tesla Manaf MJR069 International debut of Tesla Manaf’s, the young and gifted Indonesian guitarist from the city of Bandung, who delivers his main goal as a musician – “to convert spoken words into notes”. Two al;bums on one cd: « A Man’s Relationship with His Fragile Area » (2014) and « It’s All Yours » (2011)


	Direct link for more info and purchase options: www.moonjune.com CD $13+shipping \| BandCamp Download $9 Tesla Manaf’s guitar work pairs the string texture and physicality of Andres Segovia and Django Reinhardt, with the phrasing and pacing of Ralph Towner and Pat Metheny, through to the present compositional ebbs and flows of Mary Halvorson and Gilad Hekselman. Mind you, these are merely scrap-book points of reference — the end result is extremely original, fresh and inspiring. There is at work here a youthful and enthusiastic sense of risk-taking which is most revealing and rewarding listen after listen. His unique approach to modern composition assures that you won’t necessarily find the traditional song elements of verse, chorus, solo, bridge or refrain and, if you do, they very likely will not occupy the accepted position or possess the interrelationship you have come to expect. This “turning on its head” approach to composition, along with each player’s technique and choice of instrument tone color, gives great impact to the experience of listening deeply to each track. « A Man’s Relationship with His Fragile Area« (his last album recorded in 2014 – first 8 compositions on the CD) is all about movement – you find yourself taking the journey with Tesla Manaf (guitar), Hadis ‘Hulhul’ Hendarisman (clarinet, tarompet pencak, Indonesian flute), Rudy Zulkarnaen (upright bass) and Desal Sembada (drums). Your route is paved with gorgeous arpeggiated guitar lines intertwined with sinuous dancing clarinet and fueled by subtle yet insistent basslines with the most delicate use of drumkit. Midstream reflection of this musical experience is granted through the equally composed use of silence and pause. The effortless performance of these idiosyncratic songs belies their complexity. The second half of this cd includes Tesla’s earlier album “It’s All Yours” (recorded in 2011) featuring the Balinese ensemble Mahagotra Ganesha. Tesla’s guitar work on this recording possesses the playful melodicism of King Sunny Ade and is perfectly complemented by the resonant metallic voices of the Mahagotra Ganesha ensemble’s Gamelan, Gangsa, Ceng Ceng, Kantil, Gong and Kemplug.

American born Englishman, perhaps totally unknown and a pretty obscure name to many, is arguably one the greatest electric guitarist that has emerged in the XXI century. Mark Wingfield is releasing his transcendental groundbreaking new album of immense beauty « Proof of Light » in February 2015 on MoonJune Records, which features two among my favorite musicians today, Yaron Stavi on upright bass, and Asaf Sirkis on drums. It’s not often an album is released that is so daring in its approach and revolutionary in its delivery that it actually changes one’s perspective of how music can be expressed and expands their vision of a genre. It is the great privilege and honor for me to present just such an album of the otherworldly guitar stylings of critically-acclaimed guitarist, and in meantime, as an ‘appetizer’, I am inviting You to download Mark’s fabulous music from his ten previous albums. Stay tuned for more news on « Proof of Light ».

	For British electric guitarist Mark Wingfield, the words “organic” and “electronic” are not mutually exclusive. He explores highly-imaginative tones and colors via his instrument and it’s done without reliance on conventional effects, amps or pickups. His unique take on the guitar has served as the basis for an impressively diverse discography and dozens of compositions that showcase how he extends the guitar’s boundaries, as well as the many genres and influences he chooses to integrate into his work. A handful of the forms Wingfield’s output encompasses include jazz, rock, classical, and global sounds from Africa, India, Japan, and Turkey. – Anil Prasad, Innerviews Read the interview with Mark by Anil Prasadi in –> InnerviewsMark Wingfield shifts from Eno-esque ambient soundscapes…to ripping rock-tinged abandon… to cinematic guitar-synth. … Dramatic, intriguing. – Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes Mark Wingfield has created a unique electric guitar vocabulary… his playing is characteristically deep, nuanced, and inventive. – Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player Magazine Wingfield is proving to be a key proponent of adventurous, swinging and modern instrumental jazz-rock fusion in the 21st century. – Robert Silverstein, MWE3

	ANIL PRASAD Innerviews – The Music WIthout Borders The inimitable and one-of-a-kind Anil Prasad of Innerviews (the Internet’s first online music magazine, initially launched in 1994), and a loud and very proud outspoken critic of many music industry practices that are destroying the world of business of music, is writing the liner notes for Mark Wingfield’s upcoming debut on MoonJune Records Proof Of Light. For those still unaware of this very dear friend of mine for whom I have an immense respect (not just because I am the only non-musician ever interviewed in his online version of Innerviews), please do Yourself a favor and check his extraordinary book. Twenty-four of the world’s most renowned musicians share incredibly candid, in-depth thoughts on the joy and pain of the creative process, their careers and aspirations, conflicts and collaborations, and the realities of today’s music business in Innerviews: Music Without Borders, the first book by Anil Prasad. The eBook edition hit #1 on iTunes’ Arts & Entertainment and Music charts. iTunes also named it a « New and Notable Book, » as well as a « Best Under $5 » pick. The eBook also charted in the top 20 music books at Amazon UK, and the top 30 at Amazon US. Artists featured in the book include some of the greatest names in jazz, rock, world music, hip-hop, and electronica: Jon Anderson,Björk, Bill Bruford, Martin Carthy, Stanley Clarke, Chuck D, Ani DiFranco, Béla Fleck, Michael Hedges, Jonas Hellborg, Zakir Hussain, Leo Kottke, Bill Laswell, John McLaughlin, Noa,David Sylvian, Tangerine Dream, David Torn, Ralph Towner,McCoy Tyner, Eberhard Weber, Chris Whitley, Victor Wooten, and Joe Zawinul.

	Dear MoonJune Friends in Music Yagull‘s official debut for MoonJune Records, *Kai, finds the band expanding its post-rock chamber soundtrack concept to great effect.
