Ramon Moro Quartet — White Dragon () | Free Listening on Mixupload

Trumpeter and composer Ramon Moro wanted to start a band as a leader for a long time. he wanted to hear the sound of jazz par excellence, that of the quartet composed of a trumpet, piano, double bass, and drums.

The spark that led Moro to compose the music for this line-up came from listening to "Folk Song for Rosie" by the Paul Motian Trio, 1979.
The quartet was inspired and guided by the poetry and magic of that piece, which led the band, starting from his compositions, to create their own sound.
Ramon wanted everyone in the quartet to maintain their individual freedom of musical language. Everything had to be suspended, high and fluent, avoiding virtuosity in the most absolute way.
We focused on the balance of sensations, thus creating a fluid poetic tension.
Each musician turns his or her gaze to the horizon and reaches it through his or her own solitary path, in the awareness of reaching a common goal.
