Search - Moe, Macomber, Rascher Saxophone Quartet :: Strange Exclaiming Music

Eric Moe is an alchemist of
expressive extremes, from what he
calls 'beautiful quiet music' to 'the
rough, raucous stuff'. His exquisitely
controlled music distils rare
eloquence, grace, force and beauty
from the incongruous elements of
pop, rock, jazz, African drumming
and classical sources as diverse as
Mozart and Stravinsky. Edgy and
lyrical, gritty and elegiac, the works
on this disc synthesise the harmonies
of Debussy, the drum licks of the Jimi
Hendrix Experience, Bud Powell's
extraordinary pianism and much
more besides into an exuberant
musical fusion.
