The label has it on special celebration offer; michael-moore-paul-berner albums special offer
Blockquote On Amulet, we have two talented Jazz musicians – Michael Moore on Clarinet and Paul Berner on Double Bass. Berner first appeared at NativeDSD with his band on a tribute to the music of John Lennon and Paul McCartney titled This Bird Has Flown.
Recorded with One Microphone by Sound Liaison’s Frans de Rond, Amulet is the kind of album that lends itself to this recording technique. Moore’s Clarinet takes the lead and Berner’s Double Bass follows along, with the two musicians participating in a very musical interplay. It is straightforward good music.
A pleasure to sit back and enjoy.

Blockquote"When I saw a video of the recording session I was immediately sold. There is one microphone set up. I repeat, 1 microphone.
On a chair Michael Moore has taken a seat, with his clarinet.
Nearby stands the bassist, Paul Berner. Two Americans who have lived in the Netherlands for a long time. They know each other, there is trust, you can see it, you can feel it, in the way in which,
in total relaxation, a magnificent dialogue unfolds, with few notes, but in such a way that every note hits, and much remains unsaid, precisely in the space between the melody and the bass line. You don’t have to explain everything, they know that, they have experience.
Moore & Berner have completed an entire album in one day, with songs from their native country. It’s about jazz standards, classics from The American Songbook, as it’s called. But also pieces that you wouldn’t expect to find on it, songs by Joni Mitchell, for example, or ‘You Never Walk Alone’. And Moore also contributed a few compositions. But they all get the same treatment. There’s something enchanting in them.
Listen for example to the standard ‘I never knew’, which they transposed to a different key so that Berner can play a cool bass line under it. And ‘Answer me my love’ is just another song that doesn’t lend itself to jazz at all. Yes, until Moore and Berner get involved!" Passaggio

, but that’s a cracking album.
