Structures and improvisations performed on saxophones, clarinets, and trombone with some occasional Balkan and Indonesian influence.

"There's more than a touch of irony in the implications one can gleam from the title of Michael Moore's latest. Tunes for Horn Guys is anything but some dudes getting together for a casual session. Elegant, often startling, and, at times, downright biting, these fully realized miniatures, informed by an eclecticism of honest, well-considered reflection rather than superficial hijacking and exploitation, and underscored by a lyrical sensibility often brilliantly sidestepping fundamental concerns of melody, lush voicings, conclusions which often ease away rather than end per se, and impeccable heartfelt execution, serve as further evidence to the resurgence of the third stream. (Yes, the term "neo-third stream" comes to mind, but does the world need another "neo", especially when most "neos" are anything but?) Moore's expression is additionally characterized by a marked leaning towards the classical side of the third stream equation. This orderliness is, however, absolutely infused with a jazz sensibility which readily sets the stage for the concise solo and dialogue episodes and occasional outbursts of free improvisation weaving through these resplendent structures."

This is a great record! It reminds me a little of Gunther Schuller's 'Third Wave' experiments. I admire Dave for his consistent involvement in moving the music forward ...as complex, involving and articulate as anything he has done. John Cratchley

It is a tender tribute to the spiritual. It reminds me of musical roots older than my first memories. It comforts me and reminds me that I am never alone. boopster13
