If there is a single recording that best represents Gordon’s flamboyant and determined piano style, it is the Miss Thornton’s /John Stenson’s / Moving Clouds set - the 8th on this list. It was recorded 30 years ago, but Gordon consider’s it still among the most inspired playing he’s done.
This album is now available for download from Bandcamp.

In 1990 Fresh Fish made a recording, Turning of the Tide, which featured additional musicians David Surette, Dirk Powell, Danny Noveck, and one guest track with Ruthie Dornfeld.
The recording did not remain commercially available after Kerry’s passing. But it is still referred to by people in the contra dance community as one of the finest representation music for dancing.
It’s the year 2020, more than ten years after Kerry died. It’s time to at least make the recordings available for listening.
All tunes traditional except where noted.
