Alto saxophonist and clarinettist Michael Moore turns sixty. He is celebrating in style with a series of birthday concerts. We are joining the party at the Singer too! He has put together his Bigtet especially for these concerts, with fine company such as Wolter Wierbos, Eric Boeren, Kaja Draksler, Arjen Gorter, Michael Vatcher, Jorrit Westerhof and Guiseppe Doronzo. Michael Moore was born in California in 1954. As a child he learned to play clarinet from his father. Later he perfected his craft at the New England Conservatory under Jaki Byard. In the late ’70s he toured Europe for the first time as a member of the ‘Salt Lake Mime Troupe’. He immediately felt drawn to the adventurous jazz climate there. In 1982 he decided to move there for good. He settled in Amsterdam, where he worked with, among others, Misha Mengelberg, Guus Janssen and Han Bennink. Despite his move he kept playing with American musicians as well. His groups with bassist Mark Helias, drummer Gerry Hemmingway and pianist Fred Hersh in the ’80s and ’90s, for instance, were among the best jazz had to offer at the time. Michael Moore is a welcome guest at the Singer. His concerts with Available Jelly, the trio Moore/Holshouser/Bennink and the Fragile Quartet were each a great success. On 29 November he celebrates his birthday with us. The only concert in Belgium!
