Ligro: Dictionary 3
by Dave Wayne
Ligro is yet another one of MoonJune Records' stellar discoveries from Indonesia. One says “Indonesia" with caution, as each member of this supremely energetic fusion power trio hails from a culturally different part the vast region: bassist, occasional pianist, and chief composer Adi Darmawan is from Madura, drummer Gusti Hendy is from South Kalimantan and guitarist ...

César Cardoso: Bottom Shelf
by Roger Farbey
"Além" starts unceremoniously, almost mid-tune, tenor sax and guitar evoking a sultry Stan Getz mood. The labyrinthine structure of the title track adds to its appeal and benefits from strong playing with a feisty guitar solo. César Cardoso's soprano on “Ónica" evinces a delicate interplay between the sax and the guitar. It might be a bit ...
Larry Coryell: Aurora Coryellis
by Glenn Astarita
In the 1970s musicians were spinning new threads on the jazz language and guitarist Larry Coryell prominently figured into these schematics while also designated as one of the grandfathers of jazz fusion, namely due to his electrified work with vibraphonist Gary Burton on Duster (RCA, 1967). This 3-CD box set complete with a detailed booklet captures ...
Didier Verna @-quartet: Roots And Leaves
by Chris Mosey
Parisian guitarist Didier Verna plays very much in the Pat Metheny tradition but with a sunny, melodic touch.

Roots And Leaves, the title of this, his second album, was chosen with care. ...

Tubby Hayes: The Syndicate - Live At The Hopbine 1968 Vol. 1
by Roger Farbey
Out of all the Tubby Hayes archival releases over the past few years, this one should by rights generate more than passing interest for several reasons. Expertly mastered by Gearbox from the original tapes and released on vinyl and digital download, it contains four gems, but one of the chief reasons for getting hold of it ...
Michael Gibbs: Still Pushing The Envelope
by Ian Patterson
In a career spanning well over fifty years, veteran composer/arranger Michael Gibbs has chalked up a truly impressive range of credits, from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Jaco Pastorius, from Gary Burton to John Scofield and from Kenny Wheeler to Norma Winstone.

Dwiki Dharmawan: So Far So Close
by Dave Wayne
With the release of So Far So Close by keyboardist Dwiki Dharmawan, MoonJune Records continues their inconceivably fruitful collaboration with the cream of Indonesia's jazz crop.
