MoonMot is a sextet of contemporary jazz with musicians from Switzerland and Great Britain. The frontline features London saxophonists Cath Roberts and Dee Byrne alongside Swiss trombonist Simon Petermann, while the rhythm section consists of keyboardist Oli Kuster from Bern, bassist Seth Bennett from Scotland and drummer Johnny Hunter from Manchester.  MoonMot's musical stylistic devices include three pairs of opposites: composition/improvisation, acoustic and electronic sounds, and even and odd time signatures. The musicians approach these contrasts with an openness that always keeps an eye on both the tradition of jazz music and current developments in other musical styles.
