Top 10 Innovative Jazz Releases of 2009
For the past 20 years or so, excellent guitarists have been plentiful in Chicago, and Moulder ranks high among them. On "Bifrost," he offers some of the most profound work of his career, alternating vastly scaled tone poems with exquisitely delicate, spiritual pieces. His work only deepens with time.
-Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
John Moulder of Chicago spent five years composing the material for his album Trinity. It's an epic three-part program inspired by religious belief, but it can be appreciated on any number of levels. The sound of the recording is tremendous, as are the performances...Moulder impresses with his harmonic imagination and sheer ambition. The orchestrations are varied and fine-grained, not to mention expertly produced by Moulder and Brad Peters...to these ears it is probing and kaleidoscopic.
-David Adler, Jazz Times
The Eleventh Hour just came out the other week and arrived on my doorstep today. And itâs nothing short of thrilling. For me, the best of the year so far. Moulder is an extraordinarily talented guitarist.
