    Dec. 16, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- Many bands make considerable adjustments to their playing style in order for their sound to properly fill the Tiny Desk space. LA-based trio Moonchild, along with three background singers and a drummer, arrived promptly for their load-in time, unpacked their gear and were ready to go within minutes. Aside from being especially efficient, their natural musical instincts made for a custom fit in our corner.
    Amber Navran, Max Bryk and Andris Mattson joined forces in 2012 at the University of Southern California and their debut album, Be Free soon followed. This year, they released their fourth album, Little Ghost, intricately meshing jazz, R&B and hip-hop sounds under Amber's subtle vocal feats.
    For their set, they pulled out all the stops: flutes, flugelhorns, saxophones, keyboards, ukuleles and some the best harmonies I've heard in recent memory. From the moment Amber walked into the building and throughout the performance, she wore a smile on her face and expressed sincere gratitude for the Tiny Desk platform. She took advantage of the moment and amplified a cause near and dear to her heart. She asked us to "spend our privilege" and do more in the fight for people of color in the United States. They closed with a jam from 2017's Voyager.

      The organisation Amber highlighted in my city is the Parkdale Community Legal Services. They deal with a whole list of issues that affect marginalized groups. They tackle issues involving housing, workers right, immigration etc. Look em up. They do great work.

    Unfortunately it's artists like Moonchild, that get the least exposure. So slept on. Just pure chill music, and the vibes... mainstream would never give it a chance. Well done Tiny Desk/ NPR...

    I celebrate musicality. Moonchild has the chops, as Stevie Wonder would attest. Amber Navran and her bandmates exhibit a musicality--conception, composition, and performance--that adds another layer to the fabric of 21st century jazz. Flash, post-production, and promotion typically win the day. I can listen to Moonchild and celebrate musicality. I'm good.
