'Nothing Is Ordinary' - Extensive Interview with MoonJune's Leonardo Pavkovic in All About Jazz by Chris Slawecki Dear Friends in Music I am inviting You to read this extensive interview with me - it will take only 10-15 minutes of Your precious time –, conducted by the great Philadelphia based journalist Chris Slawecki for All About Jazz, the world's largest online jazz magazine. Very special thanks go to Mike Ricci, the legionary founder and honcho of AAJ, as well to John Kelman, the former editor. I am a one-man-record label, brutally independent, and as many labels or independent artists in today's world, I struggle for the survival. MoonJune Records, as many might already know, is not my main activity, neither myself or artists on my label cannot sustain living with the music we like to promote. All artists on my label are my friends, I do not sign artists, we work magic, we are an extended family of similarly minded people who fully and truly understand the reality, and rather than whining and complaining about how screed the world is, we would like to embrace optimistic positiveness and willingness that we will continue our Don Quixotesque fight and our utopian dream doing what we really like to do. We like what we do, we do what we like. It would be nice to live from this, and since we cannot, it's not the end of the world. The art will never die. We go forward, we cannot stop. Life is Jazz, It Must Be Jazz (NP: Holdsworth Pasqua Haslip Wackerman). Thanks you all for the support. Yours truly LEONARDO 'Horatio Nardini' PAVKOVIC Direct link for the interview: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/leonardo-pavkovic-nothing-is-ordinary-leonardo-pavkovic-by-chris-m-slawecki.php Because his vision and erudition know no physical or mental boundaries, Leonardo Pavkovic might seem an oddity founded by a starry-eyed idealist, a rather utopian proposition in our increasingly prefab musical world. But, to me, MoonJune is not just a record label pushing out alternative music. It feels more like a family of like-minded musicians keen to explore new grounds while collaborating with each other and engaging in a dialogue between the past and the present." - Michel Delville (9 albums on MoonJune, with The Wrong Object, Machine Mass, Doubt, Elton Dean, Dominique Vantomme and Alex Maguire Sextet) And get MoonJune's FREE JAZZ SAMPLER (download only!) www.moonjunerecords.bandcamp.com/album/it-must-be-jazz |
