Present Moment is a Santa Fe based co-operative group of four veteran players that create

spontaneous compositions by using thematic improvisation. Their philosophy is that all music

made throughout the world up to the present moment is available for them to use as a basis for

their music.

Jim Goetsch began by studying with composer George Russell, touring with Albert King and

appearing in festivals with Senegalese griot Mor Thiam. This was followed by a move into

electronic music with the synthesizer duo Biomechanique. Jim then began mixing jazz with

electronics in the group Baker’s Brew, whose “New Works” release was hailed by Italian writer

Enrico Merlin as “Album Of The Future”.

Mustafa Stefan Dill has performed in solo concerts throughout Europe since 1992 at venues

and festivals throughout Europe and has worked with Cecil Talyor, Guus Janssen, J.A. Deane,

former students John Dikeman and Ava Mendoza, Brahim Fribgane, and others. Projects past

and present include Pray For Brain, Love Unfold The Sun, and a  fresh revisit with his earlier

acoustic-based avant-flamenco explorations.

Kim Stone has a long list of credits that includes 8 years with Spyro Gyra, 19 years with the

Rippingtons. He has performed and or recorded with BB King, Richie Cole Dave Amram, Hugh

Reagan, Taj Mahal, Barry Altschul, Javon Jackson and Jessica Williams.

Dave Wayne is a self-taught drummer and composer who hails from the Philadelphia area,

landing in Santa Fe in 1993. The past few years have seen Dave accompany a number of

original, innovative and accomplished New Mexico-based jazz and rock bands such as OrnEtc.

and Love Unfold The Sun.

Love Unfold The Sun: "Explode Yourself" CD release concert

"If Mahavishnu, Miles and Broetzmann's Die Like A Dog quartet had a party in an Istanbul punk /metal

club,  it would be this."

- overheard post-concert

Searing, atmospheric and hypnotic, Love Unfold The Sun deftly summons free jazz, Middle Eastern and

 rock elements as the canvas for sparkling telepathic interplay and muscular grooves.

"Explode Yourself" is the group's first studio release, offering new tracks as well as a more detailed,

concise treatment of previously released live material, while still maintaining their trademark spontaneity

and sensitivity.
