Dear MoonJune friends
MOONJUNE RECORDS announces new release (shipping Thursday, September 11)
ALEX MAGUIRE SEXTET "Brewed In Belgium"
http://www.moonjune.com/MJR022.htm - http://www.moonjune.com/MJR022.htm
Alex Maguire and the fine fleur of Belgian jazz and jazz-rock musicians team up to launch a repertoire ranging from lyrical to groovy tunes, haunting melodies, free improvisation and high-energy interaction. In this record, Maguire’s Belgian sextet includes Jean-Paul Estiévenart on trumpet, Michel Delvilleon guitar and guitar-synth, Damien Polard on bass and Laurent Delchambre on drums (four members of notable Belgian rock-jazz band and another exclusive MoonJune recording artist The Wrong Object) as well as Flemish saxophonist, now based in New York City, Robin Verheyen (who has just released his first solo opus with American pianist Bill Carrothers). The quality of this recording, which was captured live by VPRO (the Dutch National Radio) in October 2007, confirms Maguire’s status as a vital presence on the international jazz scene, one which is capable of lacing the most intense lyricism with a juicy experimentalism that is reminiscent of Cecil Taylor’s best work and results in what is perhaps best described as a paradoxical and delightfully unstable form of “lyric experimentalism”. Maguire’s talents as a pianist and a keyboard player are so diverse, his “touch” so personal (Maguire belongs to that class of musicians who have succeeded in developing their own, immediately recognizable sound), his telepathic conversations with the other musicians in the band so explosive and brilliantly unpredictable that the line that divides the written parts from the collective improvisations is often impossible to draw. It is a tribute to the sextet’s improvisational skills that the mixture remains coherent and fascinating throughout despite the wide range of styles that characterizes this highly unusual record. These, of course bear the mark of Canterbury School prog-jazz, but hey also contain swinging upbeat tunes such as “John’s Fragment”,poignant, meditative and mournful hymns such as “Psychic Warrior” (Maguire’s compositions dedicated to late Softmachinist and British saxophone jazz legend Elton Dean) as well as faster-than-light melodic improvisations like “Pumpkin Soup” that flow in and out of funky syncopated cadences and English pastoral flavors.
Also, DO NOT MISS THE END OF SUMMER SALE on most of MoonJune's releases!
Yours in music

Dear MoonJune friends
Not sure if all of You know that my very dear friend and legendary Soft Machine and Soft Machine Legacy’s bass player Hugh Hopper,
had recently, since last June, some health problems and complications
that didn’t allowed him to do any gigs since early June. Hugh was
suffering from back pain for few years and suddenly in June got worse.
Hugh had to cancel concerts in Mexico with Chris Cutler, and 10 shows
tour of Japan with Yumi Hara-Cawkwell, and series of his solo concerts,
or concerts with Soft Machine Legacy and Delta Saxophone Quartet during
the last Summer were compromised. While treating very bad lower back
pain, Hugh was having blood tests, and in hospital doctors have
discovered beginning of leukaemia
and that his blood had very low platelet-count. Hugh started to have an
ongoing and painful chemotherapy treatment which was going relatively
well but Hugh also suffered from some minor infections after the course
finished. Hugh is doing better now, but still in hospital and only
occasionally was able to go home. In any case Hugh Hopper has a very
positive outlook on life and accepts life in a positive way and we all “hopperfully” hope, this hassle will end as soon as possible.
Sadly,
with the lack of revenue resulting from his inability to perform since
last June, Hugh and his family (his lovely wife Christine and 13 years
old daughter Rosa) are currently in a less than comfortable financial situation - this is the reason for this VERY SPECIAL NOVEMBER SALE by MoonJune Records / MoonJune Global Media, offering all Hugh Hopper related cds for purchase, with profits going to my old friend and one-of-a-kind Hugh Hopper.
100% of the profit from sale of the below mentioned cds will go Hugh Hopper:

Featuring HUGH HOPPER, DAVID CROSS, ALEX FOSTER, BARRY FINNERTY, JOE BERGER and more
http://www.moonjune.com/lightinthedark-N.htm - http://www.moonjune.com/lightinthedark-N.htm
30% of the profit from sale of the rest of MoonJune Records’ catalog will go to my dear “fuzz-bass” buddy Hugh Hopper.
In addition, The Benefit Concert at the well known London’s 100 Club will be held on December 14th, an idea generated by his colleagues in Soft Machine Legacy, and made possible thanks to John Etheridge and The 100 Club.
The entire profit will go to Hugh Hopper. If You can be there, please
do so, and buy as much merchandise offered You can afford.
The Benefit will feature some of Hugh’s friends and fellow musicians:
SOFT MACHINE LEGACY (filling for Hugh: FRED BAKER on bass)
