Robert Moore is a jazz vocalist, composer, trumpet and harmonica player based in Portland. He has evolved a sound uniquely his own, mixing his Southern roots, influences of soul and gospel into his own distinct interpretations of bebop and swinging jazz.

Produced by Robert and recorded in high-res digital by innovative engineer Bob Stark, the album combines creative arrangements and outstanding performances by many of Portland’s best musicians in a wide variety of settings from two to twelve.

Moore started his singing career in a Southern Baptist church, and that early heartfelt gospel truth can still be heard in the soulful delivery of his music. After stints as a public schools music teacher, he began his performance career, settling in Birmingham, Alabama. After 25 years there, he moved his scene to Portland, Oregon, finding a home and a following among the knowing jazz fans of that musically sophisticated city.

His music has steadily grown in depth, passion and honesty during his 60 years on the planet. Robert’s well-seasoned, finelyhoned chops on vocals, trumpet, and harmonica are bringing joy to a wider audience than ever.

Reference Recordings has expanded their Fresh series to include singer Robert Moore. With Southern gospel roots, Moore has developed a soulful, passionate delivery. Additionally, he plays trumpet and harmonica. He relocated to Portland Oregon, and is a renowned on the local jazz scene. With the release of Outta My Soul , Moore has crafted an accessible, well-rounded musical statement. Drawing on his skills as a composer, singer and instrumentalist, this twelve-track, polished album combines accomplished session players with a seasoned band leader.

Jump starting the CD is the jump swing number, “All Day Long”. Moore has the classic r& b swagger, and the band rocks out. Robert Crowell (baritone saxophone), Dave Fleischner (organ), John Moak (trombone), Dan Duval (guitar), Willie Matheis (tenor saxophone), Dan Gaynor (piano), Donald Valdez (alto saxophone), Damian Erskine (bass), Moore (trumpet) all solo and turn it over to Alan Jones (drums) and Bobby Torres (congas) for their turn. All of the players help on backup vocals. Outta My Soul is pleasantly unpredictable as the following track is a medium latin-groove adaptation of Shelby Lynne’s “She Lies Herself To Sleep”. Moore’s vocals are whimsical, with a rhythmic quality. Unleashing smooth funk, Sting’s “Nothin’ But Me” benefits from a muscular horn arrangement (two trumpets, baritone and tenor saxophones), and Gaynor’s stylish piano runs.

There are some interesting original compositions by Moore on the album. “Another Round” combines a beatnik, spoken-word scat with some space jazz. There is nice interplay between guitar and tenor that adds to the ambiance. ‘Fishin’” evokes a laid-back slow dance vibe. Moore’s crooning is framed in glowing trumpet/ sax accents and Steve Christofferson adds nimble piano licks. Representing straight ahead big band jazz is “IONO”. The song is arranged impeccably and features a crisp trumpet solo by Derek Sims. There is an Afro-Cuban tempo that Jones and Torres execute with verve.

Moore seems comfortable in most of the settings. He shines on the satirical “Benny’s From Heaven”. After the ballad-like opening, the band morphs into swing at the 1:00 mark. Despite the comic pretense, Moore delivers a solid performance, and adds a deserved shout out to Eddie Jefferson. The band percolates with great solos, including one on harmonica by Moore. The melancholy “Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year” (sung by Deanna Durbin in the dark film noir, Christmas Holiday) is Moore at his vocal apex, soulful and expressive. John Moak’s trombone adds the right touch of atmosphere to this Frank Loesser classic. “Swan Blues” (by Gene Ammons) is slow-burning, old school jazzy in its approach with emphatic vocal phrasing complementing the punctuated instrumentals.

Outta My Soul has been recorded with superior acoustics by engineer Bob Stark. It is a fresh approach to jazz.
