In the first four tunes of the album “Four Corners”, author, performer and composer Jeff Nordley, shared his impressions of the tracks. The tunes were carefully crafted and prepared for recording. The first tune, “Riffing On A Daydream,” began with an improvisation and was titled “JN vs. the Dishes,” as you could hear the clinking of dishes in the background as the wife washed them. The last tune, “Kid Art,” was appealing in its simplicity and although it is not perfect, it conveys a special vibe.
The “Four Corners” suite was inspired by several factors. First, it was an opportunity to express himself without the constraints of the rules of music making that he followed as a composer for television and other projects. Second, it was a dedication to his parents and family who spent time camping in the Sierra Mountains, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. The suite recounts the adventures of being in these remote places, beginning with a storm at Lake Powell, a walk through the mountains, a butterfly's struggle with wind and rain, and a moment of gratitude in the woods.
