not really a john zorn fan (gasp!hiss!boo! fuck off) but this is really really good. i think because it doesn't feature him, they're just songs written by him. this is warm vibes, bill frisell's impeccable geetar squiggles & some very nice harp. highly recommend this one.
hah. I like the Zorn thing. I saw Naked City and they were *fantastic*. But chacun à son goût, my friend!
ReplyDeleteNosferatu is another good John Zorn album for non-John Zorn fans. Most of the rest I've heard/have are head scratchers.
ReplyDeletethere was a time I considered myself quite the fan, but today I'm kind of ambivalent. I still enjoy his masada-related stuff and his hunch for all-star casts, though
ReplyDeleteyeah, i used to think i liked naked city, but realized it isn't as great as i once thought. this though is a burner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this gem.
