Swing Is In The Air
Sunday May 29th, 2022 with Paul Campbell
Alex Moxon Quartet

I had the pleasure earlier this week to sit down with Alex Moxon and discuss the debut album for the Alex Moxon Quartet, premiering at the NAC's 4th Stage on June 11th. NAC Concert TIckets: https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/30735 Alex Moxon's bandcamp: https://alexmoxon.bandcamp.com/album/alex-moxon-quartet Guitarist Alex Moxon has been a familiar face on the Ottawa jazz scene for more than a decade. The Ottawa-raised musician has spent this time refining his artistic voice while performing with a who's who of local and national talent, including Kellylee Evans, HILOTRONS, Miguel De Armas, Roddy Ellias, Shawnee, Iskwē, Michael Greilsammer, Petr Cancura, SOCALLED, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra. He has opened for Brian Charette, Bernie Worrell, and Brian Blade. An up and comer on the world jazz stage, his debut record as a leader, “Alex Moxon Quartet” has received international radio airplay and stellar reviews. On Moxon's first record, Peter Hum of The Ottawa Citizen says "[Moxon] blends shards of the blues, modal motifs and flashes of guitar wizardry." Says Raul De Gama of The Whole Note, "Moxon is a shining example of what true musicality means." "Overall, Alex Moxon Quartet delivers an experience that uplifts and excites listeners as it leads them along a path of varying emotional landscapes... Let it be an antidote for gloom and despair, and a reminder that the future will be a wonderful place," says James Hale of Downbeat.
