Double Concert with JazzZolder: Ula and Charlie Moon Trio

Acclaimed as Ireland's "rising star" of jazz by The Irish Times, Charlie Moon stands out as a singular voice in the realms of cool jazz, blues, and soul jazz. Hailed by the BBC as “A very gifted young vocalist and guitarist” and often lauded as the Emerald Isle's answer to 'The Prince of Cool' Chet Baker, Moon has carved a niche for himself with a melodic guitar style that seamlessly blends rhythmically swinging bebop and blues.

In a significant milestone in 2021, Charlie Moon signed with New York-based jazz label Dot-Time Records, joining the ranks of Dave Liebman and Catherine Russel. This development underscores Moon's growing influence and recognition on the international jazz stage.

Back in 2018, Moon's talent extended to film, earning him a nomination for Best Original Score at the Kerry Film Festival for his work on 'Ask Me Now.' The compositions from this project found a new home in his debut album 'Patchwork,' created with The Charlie Moon Sextet. This cool jazz vocal album is inspired by classic Blue Note recordings and showcases original arrangements of Monk, Ellington, modern influences like Thom Yorke and James Blake, and some of Moon's own compositions. Released in 2022 with Dot-Time.

As the journey continues, Moon's solo album, ‘Charlie Moon Sings & Plays’ was released in 2024. A testament to Moon's musical soul, the album is set to captivate listeners, offering an intimate exploration of his distinctive interpretation of timeless classics.
