'Moore explores the boundaries of many musical traditions, moving them into common ground, not of form, but of feeling and depth, giving his music a universal quality which is hard to describe.' - freejazz-stef.blogspot.nl - March 10, 2009
Ramboy is a record label founded by Michael Moore in 1991. The first two releases offer an explanation of the label's existence; Ramboy #01 - "Trio Clusone" became the calling card of a working band, and Ramboy #02 - "Home Game" by Michael Moore Quintet had no home at the time. Since then the label has been used to document Moore's musical activities; sometimes working ensembles, sometimes special projects.

Mostly Melodies, vol.1

Together with Francesca Patella I have been working on a fake book of my pieces for various ensembles. We are calling it ‘Mostly Melodies, vol. 1’. There will be around 130 pieces for all kinds of ensembles, about 2/3 of which have been recorded on various labels, mostly Ramboy, of course. It will soon be available in digital and physical form. Please let me know if you are interested, and in what format you prefer to have the book!

Some news:

 Kaufmann & Moore/’22, Ramboy #40 was the CD des monats in the German magazine Jazz Podium!

Michael Moore celebrated his 70th birthday with a concert of old and new pieces at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam on Friday, December 6th. The concert livestream can be seen on Bimhuis TV:



A note from the producer:

 The recordings released on Ramboy Recordings have reflected my idea of the music as it should be - unfettered by any outside production ideas or market influences. I am very lucky and grateful that I have had the opportunity to document many of the ideas and groups that I’ve had during the last 35 years. The musical ideas are there; it’s the marketing, promotion and distribution that flummoxes me!

That said - I am very happy with this new duo recording with Achim Kaufmann - we approach the written material playfully and we find a great variety of textures. Discovery comes when you lose your expectations! The cover art is from my old friend Stuart Buehler, who is also responsible for the cover of Ramboy #2 - ‘Home Game’ way back in 1991

I am still doing monthly radio programs (in Dutch) on the Concertzender - concertzender.nl. these can be heard on the 2nd saturday of the month at 11 p.m. CET, or accessed any time via: https://www.concertzender.nl/programma_genre/the-art-of-the-improvisers__jazz-nl/

Thanks for your time and your open ears!
