about

Teaming up once more with the same killer rhythm section on the critically acclaimed Dark Light (2014), Jonathan Crayford returns with another beautiful album. Recording again with engineer Mike Marciano at Systems Two Studio in New York, East West Moon takes the concentrated minimalism of the previous release a step further, this time with an even greater impressionistic spaciousness.

Jonathan composed the music for East West Moon while living in Berlin. The title is a comment on enmity and commonality, with 'East-West' denoting opposing positions and boundaries, and 'Moon' denoting that which is commonly shared, unpossessed, and freely available.

”On this album I tried to dig deep. If you’re not facing your own vulnerability, fragility, and bullshit, then you’re not really writing. It’s a bit like, if you haven’t fallen off a bike then you haven’t really ridden. I put so much work into these pieces, and it was hard some mornings to face another day of self-doubt, but that’s what it takes – those are the depths, but of course you also have wonderful heights. The pieces on this album are all about being alone – we share that aloneness, but we experience it alone.”

I'm glad these four musicians took the opportunity to play and record together. They seem to be listening very carefully to each other. A seamless performance of individuals, yeah. freejazzy

I bought this album as I really love piano trios. Sunna has a lovely straight ahead style whilst throwing in the odd avant-garde left turn. What really surprised me is I keep coming back to her again and again. This is music that gets under your skin. All three are consummate musicians. Check out ‘Summertime’ for the perfect example of how to cover a classic in style. Crinklechips

Powerful playing on this album! Wow Alexi is killing it with Herbie Hancock sensibilities!!! This is a tight-knit trio and add Verneri Pohjola on trumpet to the mix and you have one hell of a recording. Man, I ordered the vinyl and looking forward to giving this one repeated spins. Rob O.
