Cam Gilmour - Alone With The Moon (2018)

Alone With The Moon is an indie jazz album led by tenor saxophonist and bass player Cam Gilmour. The concept for this album was born out of numerous nights spent outside, alone with the moon and the stars contemplating the big questions of life that only seem to gain importance as time passes. The music was created from the perspective of a jazz musician, but the form and harmonic structure is largely influenced by alternative and progressive rock music. All but one of the tracks are instrumental, and the album breathes in and out as it develops. The A-side of the album (tracks 1-6) looks externally for answers, while the B-side (tracks 7-11) looks inwardly. As a whole, the album is a search for identity and a place in the universe, via solitude and meditation.
