Michael Foster’s The Ghost

Michael Foster – saxophones, compositions
John Moran – bass
Joey Sullivan – drums, percussion

“The Ghost was formed as both a tribute to my disparate influences in free jazz, harsh noise, and the gay underground community, and as a middle finger to the suffocating heteronormative establishment of improvised music. “Vanished Pleasures” stands as a new direction for this project, utilizing overt compositional frameworks to convey the anxieties of aging, sexual freedom, and the power relations inherent in the sax-bass-drums format. The title comes from Derek Jarman’s “The Garden,” referring to the vanished pleasures of untethered, youthful sexuality and the friends whose lives were cut short.” -Michael Foster
