Direct link to cast Your vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/83readersdb MoonJune Records – an unorthodox out-of-box rules-breaking record label accidentally established in 2001 by the urge to help an old friend, the legendary Elton Dean (R.I.P.), and named after Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt's famous 1970 epic "The Moon in June" – has already established a name for itself with "in the know" fans. Its focus is to release internationally-situated music by artists exploring the expanding boundaries of genuine, challenging, non-over-produced music that cannot be easily categorized into any specific format. MoonJune Records' ongoing goal is to support music that transcends stylistic pigeon-holing, but operates within an evolutionary progressive musical continuum that places jazz at one end and rock at the other. The ever-expanding boundaries of these two musical categories have since come to include everything from progressive rock to ethno-jazz, from experimental avant-garde to jazz-rock, and anything in between and beyond. There are many labels that You can vote for, but if You vote for MoonJune. I will truly appreciate.

But, to me, MoonJune is not just a beyond jazz 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). write your comments about the article :: © 2018 Jazz News :: home page |
