Mette Juul, the accomplished Danish jazz singer, songwriter, and guitarist, is set to release her sixth release as a leader, “Celeste,” slated for November 10, 2023. Known for her unparalleled vocal prowess and heartfelt interpretations, Juul embarks on a musical journey that combines timeless American classics, modern compositions, and her own original songs. For this captivating endeavor, she collaborates with the renowned American guitarist Mike Moreno and the multi-talented Lars Danielsson, both of whom also graced Juul’s EP “New York – Copenhagen” in 2020.

Mette Juul released New York – Copenhagen march 6th 2020. A follow-up to Change from 2019. The new release New York – Copenhagen was recorded in the same period as Change and captures the difference between the pulsating, vibrant energy of New York and the Nordic simplicity and warmth. Bridging these cultural poles was inspiring to Mette Juul.

A unique Jazz album entitled "The Jazz Side of The Moon" is the next in Chesky Records series of newly recorded Jazz performances. The album is subtitled “The Music of Pink Floyd” and as you might guess, it presents a new take on the classic album "The Dark Side of The Moon" by Pink Floyd. To create a Jazz interpretation of The Dark Side of the Moon, album Co-Producer and Hammond B3 Organ player Sam Yahel called on three top Jazz artists to join him in this project. They are Mike Moreno on Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Ari Hoenig on Drums and Seamus Blake playing the Tenor Sax.

Like a well – wrought character in a Hollywood movie, Standards From Film, guitarist Mike Moreno’s fourth Criss Cross album, exists atop a solid, cogent back story. Recorded in December 2021, when the world and New York City – Houston-born Moreno’s home for more than two decades – were no longer on COVID lockdown, it documents the leader’s exhaustive investigations into the provenance of ten iconic standards that, as he puts it, “are the summer jazz workshop tunes” – they say you have to learn these songs if you want to be a jazz musician. You learn them very young or in the beginning days of your journey into this music.
