Listen to our record: Axiom| Andrew Moreno

Award-winning Venezuelan guitarist and composer Andrew Moreno makes a bold entrance onto the international jazz scene with his debut album Axiom, recorded with his international-based trio and featuring internationally acclaimed saxophonists Tineke Postma and Bo Van Der Werf. A collection of personal stories exploring Moreno’s journey as an artist shaped by migration, reinvention, and a relentless pursuit of musical freedom, Axiom was released on May 9th, 2025.

Moreno’s distinctive compositional approach blends intricate written structures with the limitless freedom of improvisation. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of influences—including visual art, Messiaen and Schönberg’s harmonic concepts, and spontaneous melodic exploration—Axiom captures the essence of a musical journey shaped by two decades of experience across multiple continents.

For Moreno, Axiom is more than an album—it’s a personal narrative of transformation: “Axiom is telling a story about my struggles during migration, dealing with nostalgia, letting go of memories, and falling in love with music again every day of the year. This story started when I began integrating in Europe after leaving everything I owned and knew in Caracas, Venezuela. It’s the sound of a search for freedom within intricate compositions, all influenced by my musical experiences in the past 20 years—experiences gained over a variety of music, countries, and continents.”
