Michael Moore is a clarinetist, saxophonist and composer who brings American jazz into conversation with Dutch improvised music and a wide range of musical traditions. Based in Amsterdam since 1982, he works across composed and spontaneous forms, from small ensembles to collaborations with theatre and dance. His career includes the ICP Orchestra and groups such as Jewels & Binoculars, alongside his own quartet and quintet projects. He received the Boy Edgar Prize in 1986 and founded the Ramboy label in 1991. His work with dancers, including Katie Duck, extends his musical practice into shared performance.
