Michael Moore
“Just when you make up your mind it’s an ethno-centric acid-polka orchestra blowing jazz with a demented dixieland mariachi band in the Bulgarian beergarden, they’ll break into a James Browne tune”. Available Jelly’s musical interests and preferences are manifold and varied. They range from bedrock of Jazz in New Orleans to the exploits of Ornette Coleman and beyond. From ethnic musics of as faraway places as the Balkan and Madagascar to popular music by Cole Porter and Irving Berlin to rock music by the Beach Boys. This may sound like your average we can’t make a choice’ eclectic postmodern hotchpotch, but it isn’t. The Available Jelly people like a good melody, wherever it may come from. The original compositions by band members Michael Moore and Eric Boeren are in very true evidence of this. Expect the unexpected. That’s the most sensible comment to be made about any Available Jelly concert. Over the years the group’s line-up and repertory have gone in so many directions that even its members have no clue beforehand what will happen during a performance. All this has made Available Jelly one of the most exciting bands on the Amsterdam improvised music scene.
