“Tom Gordon's own journey - from his early absorption with reams of manuscripts in Labrador choir lofts to an active engagement through listening, observing, recording, becoming an apprentice and participant in the Nain choir, and ultimately initiating collaborative projects with Labrador Inuit musicians and community members - is what makes this a particularly rich account of musical tradition. In Called Upstairs, he shares his unique understanding of this music and its development gained through experience with a wide spectrum of readers.” Maija Lutz, author of Hunters, Carvers, and Collectors: The Chauncey C. Nash Collection of Inuit Art
