Luna Madidus (“Moondrunk”), is a jazz ensemble from Mid-Coast Maine dedicated to performing original modern jazz. The band’s sound is modeled after such jazz icons as Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk, as well as the “downtown” style of NYC, as embodied by such groups as The Lounge Lizards and trumpeter Tom Harrell. Througout its two-year history, the group has grown from a quartet, a quintet with vocals, to its current two horn quintet lineup. The band has performed live on Public Radio twice, had airplay on WRFR and MPBN, and performed in Portland and Lewiston in addition to its homebase in the mid-coast. The group is currently working on its first release, due out in early Autumn

Current Lineup:
Mike Whitehead – Trumpet/Flugelhorn
Bruce Boege – Tenor/Soprano Saxophones
Tom Luther – Piano
Doug Kennedy – Bass
Jason Dean – Drums
