The Moon Is A Magnet: This is an older tune of mine. I love odd time signatures- this one is in nine. I usually count it five then four then five then four... so fun to play. I was honored to have a man who is comfortable with complex time signatures play on this one: Jeff Coffin, (of B�la Fleck and the Flecktones fame) I love the bass clarinet. Such a beautiful instrument played by a true master.
The trick with this song is that through the time signature is fairly out there, the melodic changes are pretty strict. So it feels like the jazzy notes will work but they won't. I remember showing this song to Jeff and hearing the song with new ears, I'm not sure where it came from, but it's a great, odd piece of music that feels almost like a cover sometimes.
