Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street

Drawing its evocative title from a poem by the 13th-century Sufi mystic Rumi, this late-career masterpiece by the 'Fourth World' pioneer is heavily centered on deeply atmospheric, nocturnal jazz. The composer's signature, heavily harmonized trumpet breathes over a bed of live electronic sampling, subterranean bass, and shuffling acoustic percussion. The release is widely celebrated as one of the most sensual and enveloping works of modern ambient jazz.
