Decade 1996-2005 - Joseph Patrick Moore

Joseph Patrick Moore - Decade 1996-2005
"Decade", the newest release by Joseph Patrick Moore on Blue Canoe Records, contains material compiled from his recording efforts spanning the years 1996-2005.  Unlike other compilation or "best of" recordings, Decade is not a testimonial of past achievements but a preface, or glimpse, into the artist's future.

JPM is a master bassist, equally proficient with upright and electric instruments; his technical virtuosity and artistic curiosity has taken him in pursuit of many musical styles.  It is apparent that Moore's works are inspired by mainstream jazz and contemporary jazz as well as r&b, gospel and pop.  The result of this exploratory approach to composition is fresh, imaginative, and adds an air of excitement and serves as a foil to the all too often boring and overworked state of academic classroom jazz.

A great sense of adventure thrives in this compelling 80 minute, 19 song CD.  Moore pays tribute to mentors Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis with original compositions "Herbie" and "Pause 1".  His solo bass version of The Police tune "Masoko Tanga" and the full-band vocal rendition of Men at Work's "Down Under" (in the spirit of Hancock's "Possibilities" and Davis "Tutu") are evidence that pop music is an excellent source of inspiration of jazz arrangements.  JPM's abilities come full circle on the title track: he composed and played all the instruments on this soon to be smooth jazz anthem. 

If you are searching for music with rich textures and groove oriented arrangements, look no further than Joseph Patrick Moore's Decade on Blue Canoe Records.  Aptly titled, it is a remarkable odyssey through the world of contemporary jazz.
