The tones of Luna Nova paint beautiful and wild images,where the blue sky and deep waters sound as music.New and unforeseen scenery unfolds and lives in the stream of music.The boundaries of folk music and jazz are no longer audible.The vocals,violin and saxophone carries the melody merging seamlessly into one,drifting effordlessly apart,and interwining around each other and the melody.The piano,double bass and octave mandolin move time and again into the solo position,taking their space with skill.The musical weave is alive and changing.Each musician fills their role in the whole,switching from the soloist into an accompanist and back again.The musicians communicate with nuances and melodies and react responsively to each other's impulses.Each piece leads a life of its own and is never repeated twice in exactly the same way.
