Blue Moons by Jerry Gordon

This album started in October 2020 with the cover photo of the blue moon, taken by Yuberley Aponte. The drums were played first in early November, with the tenor sax, garden hose, recorder layers on tracks 1 & 2 coming in later November. The saxophone layer for track 3 came in early January 2021--not long after the US Congress was attacked. All that shit flows into what I hope are pieces of music that are as beautiful and unsettling for you as they are for me.

These three tracks also serve as the music for improvised dances by Nonoko Sato, Mutsumi Kiniwa and Pei Ern. Films of their dances (and others) can be viewed on Isolated Moons: https://www.instagram.com/isolatedmoons0/
