      (2022, cd, spain, moonjune)

Leonardo Pavkovic, the man behind the renowned Moonjune record label, moved from New York to Toledo, Spain, last year. This means that the Moonjune HeadQuarters are now to be found in southern Europe.

The music that's being released on the Moonjune record label, however, does not have any limits, borders or frontiers. As the Moonjune bandcamp page states : "(music) that explores boundaries of jazz, rock, avant, ethno, the unknown and anything in between".

One of the latest releases, Mask Of Confidence's eponymous album, is no exception.

The band consists of Fabio Trentini (fretless bass), Stefano Castagna (keyboards, guitar and programming), and Jeff Collier (vocals), and also features Pat Mastelotto (drums), Markus Reuter (tourch guitar), Angela Kinczly (clarinet) and Giovanni Forestan (bass clarinet and sax) as special guests.

Beautiful.
I love the melodic lines of the fretless bass and Jeff Collier's vocals remind me of David Sylvian's.
