Album Description

This is a Covid-19 album, recorded in a year when it was impossible for musicians to gather together or bring music to live audiences. Each musician recorded at home and our engineer Gary Henry assembled their separate tracks into something coherent. It's also a Covid-19 album in the choice of material: these are not-really-jazz pieces that my main band, the Julian Gerstin Sextet, couldn't use, but the band wasn't working so why not record them? The songs are in styles I love from around the world, and are mostly fun and danceable. (Please don't call them "world beat," a patronizing, racist term.) The album is dedicated to my teachers Milford Graves and Diane Moser, both of whom passed away during this difficult year.
