Rob Mazurek's Alternate Moon Cycles holds a special place in music history as the very first release from the celebrated International Anthem Recording Company. Originally released in 2014, this deeply meditative work features Mazurek on cornet alongside Matthew Lux and Mikel Patrick Avery, weaving together spare, single-note-centered improvisation that feels as much like a ritualistic experience as it does a jazz recording.
The music of Alternate Moon Cycles unfolds slowly and intentionally, with Mazurek's cornet chants elevated to near-supernatural frequencies by his trio in an intimate setting. The ambient sounds of the room — creaks, whispers, and subtle movement — become part of the performance itself, giving the recording a raw, immersive quality. Now reissued in 2025 as a deluxe edition on International Anthem, this is a meaningful opportunity to own a foundational document from one of the most important independent jazz labels in the world today.
