Our Take

The latest offering from the Alan Barnes Octet & Josie Moon, “A Requiem”, is a delightful blend of jazz and whimsy that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure.

Barnes and Moon have crafted a masterpiece that is equal parts haunting and joyous, with soaring horns and ethereal vocals that transport the listener to another realm. Tracks like “Elegy for a Pizza Delivery Driver” and “Dirge for a Broken Umbrella” showcase the Octet's impeccable musicianship and Moon's haunting vocals, creating a captivating sonic landscape that is both introspective and infectious.

The album's standout track, “Rhapsody for a Lost Sock”, is a tour de force of storytelling and musicianship, with Barnes' expressive saxophone solos weaving seamlessly with Moon's haunting vocals to create a truly unforgettable listening experience. It's a track that will leave you emotionally drained and exhilarated in equal measure, a true testament to the talent and creativity of Barnes and Moon.

Overall, “A Requiem” is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or experimental music. Barnes and Moon have created a masterpiece that is as thought-provoking as it is fun, a stellar addition to their already impressive discography. Don't sleep on this one, folks – it's a gem.
